Liven up your holiday with vertical cookies!
Why keep your
cookies flat on the counter where they are hard to see? After spending
time decorating cookies - show them off as ornaments, name place holders,
centerpiece displays and more! Kids will want to play with them and your
friends will be amazed. So how do you create such fun treats?
We have 3-D cookie
cutter sets for making stand-up cookies from sugar cookie dough. Our
holiday cookie
cutter set includes cutters for angels, bells, stars, snowmen, Christmas
trees and reindeer. The cookie stand cutters are each uniquely designed for each
shape.
Just roll out your
sugar cookie dough, cut with the cutters, bake, cool and decorate. Each set
comes with a delicious recipe on the box or try our easy-to-use
sugar cookie mix.
All you have to do is add water.
Now the decorating and
assembly starts.
-
Test each cookie and
stand before decorating to make sure it stands correctly.
-
Decorate both sides
of the cookies for display. Be sure to include both sides of the stand to
coordinate with the cutter shape.
-
Be sure to frost
lightly so you will not have a problem inserting stand into cookie to display.
-
Simple designs and
decorations are easiest. You need to let one side dry before you before
turning over to decorate opposite side.
Royal icing
dries smooth and works as a canvas for other decorations.
-
Colored fondant
can also work if rolled thin enough. Just use cutter to cut 2 pieces of
fondant for both sides of the cookie.
-
Allow frosting to
dry before assembling.
Finish by displaying
the cookies as a centerpiece on your table or buffet. It is fun to use these
cookies as name cards for coffees or for parties. The kids will really enjoy
having a real live cookie at their place for supper. It is like their cookie
came to life and stood up to say Merry Christmas!
