Okay, so, I got this idea to make some Christmas cookies, but I wanted them to be extra special, you know? Not just your regular round cookies. So I grabbed these Christmas baking molds I found online. I was pretty excited to try them out.
First, I whipped up a basic sugar cookie dough. Nothing fancy, just the usual: butter, sugar, eggs, flour, the whole shebang. Then, I rolled out the dough and started using the molds. There was a Christmas tree, a snowman, a reindeer, and a cute little gingerbread man.
- Mix the dough.
- Roll it out.
- Press the molds.
- Bake!
I pressed the molds into the dough, and it was pretty easy. The shapes came out nice and clean. I carefully placed them on a baking sheet and popped them in the oven.
While they were baking, I thought, “Hmm, these are going to look plain.” So, I melted some chocolate and some candy melts in different colors. When the cookies were done and cooled, I started decorating.
I dipped some in chocolate, drizzled others with the colored candy melts, and even used some icing to add details. The Christmas tree got some green icing and sprinkles for ornaments. The snowman got a little chocolate chip smile and candy melt buttons. They were starting to look really festive!
The End Result
Man, they turned out so cute! Everyone loved them. They were almost too pretty to eat, but of course, we did. They were a big hit at the Christmas party. I even gave some away as gifts, and people were super impressed. It’s amazing what a simple mold can do. It took regular cookies and turned them into something special. Definitely going to use these molds every year. They just make Christmas baking so much more fun and festive!
Oh, and I also tried making some quick and easy fudge Christmas trees, they were so good!
