Christmas Lights Butter Cookies

Hey there everyone, This weekend I finished decorating the Christmas tree, I put up a few Christmas decorations and the atmosphere in the house changed to a much cozier, warmer feel.  I still have a few more things to do but I should be finished soon.  (Love all these colorful lights) 

I made a small batch of Butter Christmas Cookies yesterday, but I wanted to decorate the cookies with something Christmassy.   I searched for decorating ideas and found this Christmas light decoration on Pinterest which I thought was cute from dessertsfortwo.com.  The decoration on this bloggers cookies is different, she used M&Ms where I used sprinkles to make it a bit more colorful.   I did not have any powdered sugar so I made the topping with White and Pink Fondant Icing, the cookie recipe is great because I have been making these  each Christmas.

I gave it a few tries before the cookies looked decent enough to post hahahha.   I did send a photo to my Pastry Chef friend and she liked it, so I guess I did a good job on my first try in decorating cookies. 🙂

Have a great week everyone!!!

Roll out the Fondant Icing with a smaller roller and use the cookie cutter used for cutting the cookies.

Take any tube color and draw a line, starting from the top left hand side all the way to the right side.

Spinkle, colorful spinkles on top of the cookies.

You can make any type of decoration you love, this is something I found cute and tried it out for the first time myself.
