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