This is another Christmas Snowflake Cookie. Use it to add to your decorations, trying not to delete your edible decorations for dressing up your house & ornaments. You are going to make enough to give as gifts for home, work, committees, clubs, etc. Do not forget the plate of cookies that your children will want to leave for Santa on Christmas Eve! Remember to contact Wilton for cookie cutters, glaze, edible glitter, color bases, etc. The way to see their available products upon your computer is to email

www.wilton.com. This is a great source for all baking supplies. Enjoy!

Target had a set of three different snowflake cookie cutters by Wilton today for under $4.00.  Anywhere Wilton products are sold you might be able to find them.  I had just found this recipe earlier today and wondered where you could find them.  Now I have some and will try this recipe soon!
