"Be still, oh, joyful baker's heart. A little book that can rescue holiday bakers." "A great little stocking stuffer or hostess gift of a book: a cookie book filled with inspiration and eye candy for bakers."--CookieGoodness "If you are in need of some fresh ideas for the holidays this is a great book with lots of colorful inspiration."--The Omaha World-Herald "Cookie Craft Christmas is a small-but-mighty-book with decorating ideas for a sweet holiday."--Chicago Tribune

Make every Christmas a cookie craft Christmas! The holidays offer just the right combination of cold weather and family togetherness for cookie crafters to elevate their skills to show stopping new heights. With more than 60 new Christmas cookie designs, along with festive New Year's cookies and lovely Hanukkah treats, "Cookie Craft Christmas" delivers colorful inspiration to cookie decorators just when they need it most. Each spread features a full-page, close-up photograph of one cookie cutter shape with detailed decorating instructions on the facing page. Some pages feature one gloriously decorated cookie, while others might feature two or three interpretations of the same shape - ornaments in complementary colors, Christmas trees decorated in varying styles or gingerbread men wearing a rainbow of colors and patterns. Decorating instructions are as simple as tinting cookie dough green before baking Christmas trees or as intricate as piping hair on a gingerbread grandma, creating a frilly pattern for her apron, and decorating her dress using a pretty feathering technique. Techniques are described in full in a Decorating Glossary, and cookie and icing recipes are included. Fresh inspiration and fabulous decorating ideas fill the pages of this handy little source book. It's the perfect gift for anyone who has ever picked up a pastry bag.
