Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Yield: 42 Servings

30 30

Ingredients

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, divided
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 to 2 tablespoons water
Red and green gel food coloring
1 package (16 ounces) cutout butter cookies
Snowflake sprinkles and red decorating candies

Directions

In a small bowl, combine 1 cup confectioners' sugar, corn syrup and enough water to achieve a smooth consistency. Remove 2 tablespoons glaze to another bowl; tint red. Cover and set aside.
Tint remaining glaze green. Dip tops of half of the cookies in green glaze. (Save remaining cookies for another use.) Decorate with sprinkles and candies.
Stir enough remaining confectioners' sugar into the red glaze to achieve piping consistency. Using a #3 round pastry tip, pipe small bows and ribbons onto cookies. Serve immediately or let stand until set. Yield: about 3-1/2 dozen.

Editor’s Note: This recipe was tested with Salerno butter cookies.
