Wreath Cupcakes
Recipes
As an alternative to a platter of Christmas cookies, welcome family and friends with a batch of dainty cupcakes adorned with simple wreath shapes piped from green buttercream. They’re just the thing for a caroling or tree-trimming party, or a holiday open house. Tiny red candy dots mimic holly berries to provide the finishing touch.
Stained-Glass Ornaments
Recipes
Use fruit-flavored Life Savers, sour balls, or similar hard candies for the "stained glass." It is fun to make your own design for the ornaments. For example, if you want to make a holly leaf or a dove, draw the shape on a piece of cardboard—about 3 inches in diameter is a good size—and cut it out. Edge the gingerbread strips around the design on the cookie sheet. Continue until all the gingerbread has been used. To crush the candies, use a food processor or place the candies between 2 pieces of waxed paper and crush with a rolling pin.
Gingerbread Cupcakes with Cookie Cutouts
Recipes
Gingerbread is the most recognizable Christmastime flavor; the scent of its signature spices baking in the oven fills a home with holiday cheer. These cupcakes are made with the same mixture of spices—nutmeg, clove, cinnamon, and ginger—as the tiny gingerbread-cookie boys and girls they are topped with. The recipe for the cookie dough will yield more cutouts than you need to decorate twenty-two cupcakes; serve extra cookies alongside.
Snickerdoodle Party Cookies
Recipes
We helped our snickerdoodles get party-ready by upping the spices and adding texture with toffee, cornflakes, and a sparkly finish.
