Super Simple Snowflake Cookies
I came up with these cookies last year and think they will be a new Christmas tradition around here!

First make a batch of plain sugar cookies, either slice-and-bake or from scratch ~

Snowflake Cookies - pt. 1

Then use your snowflake cutting skills in reverse! Fold your paper into sixths, cut it into a circle shape (slightly larger than the cookies), and then cut out a snowflake stencil ~

Snowflake Cookies - pt. 2

Lay your stencil over a cookie and sprinkle with cinnamon. Carefully lift the stencil off of the cookie and turn the cookie over to dump the excess.

Now don't they look fancy? The cinnamon also gives them a great Snickerdoodle flavor. (I've tried it with powder sugar as well, but I kept choking on the powder when I tried to eat it. Would not recommend)

Snowflake Cookies - pt. 3

You can use this same stencil technique to create all sorts of fun designs on pies, cakes, all sorts of food!

How cute are those? I bet they'd be fun with some colored sugar too :)

The cinnamon is so fine it sticks to the finished cookies, but I bet you could put the sugar on before cooking (if it doesn't slide around the paper too much)

Hmmmm....good point.

I was trying to figure out how I could do this with chocolate crinkles and powdered sugar, but I don't know...I might experiment and see.

What are chocolate crinkles? Is that the cookie or the topping?

I had a hard time getting the powdered sugar on there, but it might work better with a sifter. I would have used one if I had one. And then I choked about three times when I was eating it.

That's the cookie. My FAVORITE cookie. It tastes like brownie batter. Yum. You roll it in powdered sugar before you cook it so that it cracks during cooking, thus making the crinkles.

I don't have a sifter either, but I wonder if that would work. Hmmm...
