As you read through our guide on the best Christmas cookies with IOD, remember Albert Einstein's wise words: 'Creativity is intelligence having fun.' Don't be intimidated! The beauty of getting creative with Christmas cookies lies in their nature—they often come in batches, allowing for lots of “try-agains”.🫢

Whether you plan to ship them to a loved one, leave them on a Christmas plate for Santa, or gobble them up yourself, the time has come to bake some Christmas cookies.🧑‍🎄

Magazine Worthy Royal Icing Sugar Cookies

Want to add some IOD flair to your royal icing Christmas cookies? You’re in the right place. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to make sweet treats for your cookie assortment that feel too pretty to eat.😅 All you’ll need is your favorite sugar cookie recipe, royal icing recipe (or the pre-made stuff, to push the easy button 😉), and some Colour Mill food coloring ( the food coloring makes a big difference because it has better opacity and staying power ) and your fave IOD holiday stamp. Don’t fancy yourself as a seasoned baker? No problem. This tutorial is designed with beginners in mind, making it perfect for a fun evening of Christmas cookie decorating with friends and family.

Charming Linzer Cookies

Our lovely friend at Bakerlita Bakery gifted us with these darling little delights using the IOD Trimmings 2 Mould and her scrumptious Linzer cookie recipe. Dip the ends in chocolate and some gilded edible glitter and you have yourself a lovely little Christmas cookie. Yummy!! But the best part? She shared this moment with her young daughter. What a sweet tradition to carry on through the years.💖 Check out the YouTube video below for a tutorial using Bakerlita Bakery’s Linzer cookie recipe. 

There you have it! We would love to see any chocolates or cookies that you bake with IOD Moulds or Stamps. What ideas do you have cookin’? We’re dreaming up sugar cookies with the Bibelots Mould  and a dusting of  Vintage Snowflakes Stamp —just one of many ways to elevate your holiday treats.😍 

 Pro tip:  keep a set of IOD Moulds and Stamps just for baking. Because, let’s face it, Air Dry Clay doesn’t belong in anyone’s cookies. 😉
