This may look like a difficult cookie to master, but broken down into steps, Santa is actually a very manageable cookie, even for beginners. To make these you will need:

• Santa shaped cookies
• red piping and flood icing
• medium and stiff white piping icing
• flesh tone twenty-second icing
• black candy beads
• pink petal or lustre dust

1. Begin by outlining the hat and beard


2. Use twenty-second icing to create a face. If you need help with flesh tone icing, click HERE.


3. Immediately drop in two candy beads for eyes, then fill the hat



Let the cookies dry for 4-5 hours, then move on the the next steps.


4. Fill Santa's beard and add a nose and wait for about an hour before moving on

5. Use the stiff white icing and a #13-#16 tip to add furry accents to the hat


6. Use the medium white piping icing to add eyebrows and let the cookie dry completely

7. Use petal dust and a very small brush to rosy up Santa's cheeks a little


8. To finish up, use the stiff white icing and star tip to add a mustache. Start in the middle under his nose and drag the tip out, then, do the very same thing on the other side. Let dry completely and you have a crowd pleasing Santa!
