Good things do come in small packages.
Especially in bite sized ones.
After icing the cookies with thinned icing and letting them dry, I brushed them with aqua colored luster powder for a soft blush of color.
I then piped the details on the cookie and finished with a single silver dragee in the center.
For the presentation I used paper loaf pans that I never got around to using for baking cranberry bread for Thanksgiving. Another small package and good.
All lined up and ready to go with a plastic bag and twist tie that comes with the paper loaf pans.
8 cookies fit in a loaf pan perfectly.
Add a pretty ribbon to cover the twist tie and they'll be ready for giving.

beautiful work! i have several of those little loaf pans as well and hadn't dreamed of using them for cookies; what an excellent tip!
you are such an artist! They are so pretty! Merry Christmas!
Hi there, I have missed you too! Things have been a little crazy. More importantly, I have been thinking of you daily since the rain started! How did you make out? It is just awful! All of those homes destroyed, so sad. I hope things get better real soon.
As usual, your cookies are beautiful! I did my cut-out, iced cookies last night. Have been baking cookies for 2 weeks and I think I am officially done! I want to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas, and a wonderful New Year. I am keeping all those around you that lost their homes in my heart.
Hope to get back to blogging soon.
XOXO
These are almost too beautiful to eat!
Beautiful cookies--I'm bookmarking this post as I think Santa may be putting a few snowflake cutters in my stocking! Hope your family and home survived the deluge and enjoy a warm and dry Christmas! xo
Gorgeous almost too perfect to eat! Have a Merry Christmas!
Gosh, these are just beautiful!!
happy Holidays:)
I just love the delicate color the lustre dust gives - so much more subtle than dying the icing itself.
Thanks for the tip - as always, the cookies are gorgeous!
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Just gorgeous!! They are so beautiful that I'd hate to take a bite but I am sure I could force myself! LOL!
I've never seen such beautiful snow flakes. You are amazing! What a sweet gift.
