Christmas cookies

I've started to see lots of fab festive cookie ideas around. Cookies make great gifts and can be lots of fun to decorate with the kids. Here's a few of my favourites ...

Who thought if you turned a gingerbread man upside down he could be a reindeer?! I found these over at cakecentral.com. There are heaps of other ideas on the website too so it's a good place to have a look around for some inspiration.

These stained glass trees from marthastewart.com are really pretty

I love these melted snowmen cookies, I've seen lots of versions of these but I just love the look on the faces of these ones from www.sprinklesandgrins.com! These would be lots of fun to make with the kids.
