11 Watercolor Christmas Cookies Artistic Decorating

Classic Candy Cane Swirls

Classic Candy Cane Swirls are delightful and festive cookies that embody the spirit of Christmas. These eye-catching cookies are made with a buttery dough swirled with vibrant red and white stripes resembling candy canes. Not only are they delicious, with a hint of peppermint flavor, but they also make for an impressive holiday treat that’s perfect for giving or sharing at gatherings.

Cooking Steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Mix the Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar using a mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Add Egg and Extracts: Beat in the egg until well combined, then mix in the vanilla and peppermint extracts. Continue mixing until everything is well incorporated.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Divide the Dough: Divide the dough into two equal parts. Leave one part as is for the white dough. To the second part, add red food coloring. Start with 1 teaspoon and mix until you achieve your desired shade of red.
6. Chill the Dough: Wrap both portions of dough separately in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
7. Roll Out the Dough: Once chilled, on a lightly floured surface, roll out the white dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Do the same with the red dough.
8. Layer the Doughs: Place the red dough over the white dough. Using a rolling pin, gently roll them together just until they stick.
9. Cut and Shape: Starting from one edge, carefully roll the layered dough into a log shape. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill again for at least 30 minutes.
10. Slice the Cookies: Once chilled, remove the log from the fridge and slice it into 1/4 inch thick rounds. Place the rounds on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
11. Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are just lightly golden.
12. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.

Enjoy these gorgeous Classic Candy Cane Swirls as part of your holiday cookie spread!

Ideal for holiday parties or as gifts, these wreath-shaped cookies are sure to bring a dash of festive cheer to your celebrations.

Cooking Steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.

Rustic Gingerbread Houses

Rustic gingerbread houses are a delightful and nostalgic holiday project that captures the magic of Christmas. These charming edible structures are perfect for decorating with icing, candies, and seasonal embellishments. They make for a fun family activity, allowing everyone to express their creativity while enjoying the sweet aroma of gingerbread baking in the oven.

Cooking Steps:

1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter and brown sugar, mixing until creamy. Add in the molasses and eggs, and mix until well-blended.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, baking soda, and salt until evenly mixed.
3. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until a thick dough forms. This dough should be well combined yet not sticky.
4. Chill the Dough: Divide the dough into two equal portions, flatten each into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Chilling the dough makes it easier to roll out.
5. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while waiting for the dough to chill.

8. Make the Icing: While the gingerbread pieces are cooling, prepare the royal icing by whisking together powdered sugar and milk until a thick, spreadable consistency is reached. Adjust with more sugar or milk as needed.
9. Assemble the House: Once the gingerbread pieces have completely cooled, use the royal icing to “glue” the pieces together, starting with the base. Assemble walls first, then attach the roof pieces.
10. Decorate: Allow the icing to dry slightly before decorating with assorted candies such as gumdrops, chocolate buttons, and licorice. Use more royal icing to secure the candies in place.
11. Let It Set: Allow the assembled gingerbread house to set for a few hours or overnight for the icing to harden before displaying it or enjoying it as a festive treat.
