CHRISTMAS CHARACTER COOKIE STICKS ~ 5 Cute Christmas Cookie Designs

Hey sweeties, as promised... here are my Christmas cookies sticks video tutorial. I decided to make them a teeny bit chubbier than my previous cookie sticks that I did for Halloween 😁
They are still cute and have all the characteristics of all my favorite Christmas characters, yay!! The good news is that you don't need to buy any specific cookie cutters, if you have a rectangle cookie cutter at home then you're good to go! Or you can just cut your cookie dough into rectangle shapes of your liking, make it skinnier or chubbier, the decision is yours! 👍💖 For me, I used Sweet Sugarbelle rectangle cutter which i trimmed slightly to make these cookie sticks (see measurements below)
I hope this tutorial is useful for you, I love creating cookie sticks as its really useful to do cookie designs without having to buy lots of different cutters 💞
As usual, all my cookies decorated with Royal icing, so if you are NEW to cookie decorating, these video tutorials will help you in your cookie decorating journey:

Hi my friend. These cookies are so clever and sooooo adorable. Such a great idea. I am so happy to see that you are ok after that volcano eruption in New Zealand. So sad for those families. It’s been a crazy year for us. Remember last year my Dad died after caring for him for 6 years? This year my brother died unexpectedly, then 3 weeks after that my cat of 17 years died. We also had to put my mother in law in hospice for cancer. I have been very sick too with debilitating pain. Hence me being MIA. But.... the good news is, ITS CHRISTMAS!!!! Time to celebrate the saviors birth. I am looking forward to a better year in 2020. Wishing you and your family a happy and healthy Christmas and New Year!!! Merry Christmas!!!! Many Blessings!!! 🙏🏻🎄🎁❄️☃️

can you make a video showing how you make your royal icing molds of flowers and such? I know how with fondant but is it the same or should we use consistency of royal icing thats thicker

[@janicerusso3347]

You are the Best! Love your videos and have learned so much from you and I thank you for that! Baking and decorating cookies are my passion and I give them away to children in my neighborhood and friends. I have a question for you. Shelf life for decorated cookies? It does take a few days to decorate them depending on detail and I keep them in a covered container in a cold room. Again, you are my inspiration and I eagerly look forward to your videos. Boy, would I love to be there with you and your daughter for one day! ❤️❤️❤️

[@CookieliciousNZ]

Hi Janice, thank you so much for your kind words, I generally say sugar cookies will last a few weeks providing they are heat-sealed individually and stored properly. If you know that the cookies are not going to be eaten for a while I would freeze them in their individual cellophane bag and inside an airtight container, they will last for months that way. Please note their shelf life is suspended while they are in the freezer. Hope that helps 😉💞

[@janicerusso3347]

Cookielicious NZ Thank you so much! I will definitely do that! ❤️

[@adrianolivermorey6122]

These cookies are beautiful but my question is...They are good enough to eat?

[@ivytruong2981]

Hi Natalia, can we reduce the sugar amounts in the sugar cookies recipe and royal icing recipe and still can achieve the same Or similar results? My kids enjoyed the cookies but said they were too sweet, so I don’t know if it’s because I flood the cookies too thick or is it the combinations of the sugar cookies and royal icing flooding.

[@CookieliciousNZ]

Hi Ivy, unfortunately I haven't personally try reducing the sugar so i can't answer your question but feel free to try a small batch of cookie dough with a reduced amount of sugar and see how you go....I wouldn't reduce the sugar in the royal icing because it might mess up the whole consistencies as the icing sugar is the intergral part of it. However if you do try making the cookie dough with the reduced sugar please let me know how you go 😊

[@ivytruong2981]

Thanks so much for taking your time to respond, Natalia. Thanks for the tips not to change up the sugar amount in the icing. I will try in the cookies then. I just ordered the dehydrator this morning to make the drying process faster. I see that your tips is put in dehydrator for 30 mins, Is there a temperature we should set it at?

[@ivytruong2981]

I found your answers to another fan on the comments threads. All set, thank you😊 have a wonderful holiday, Natalia!

Hello beautiful cookies. 😍 how long did it take you to decorate 1 cookie when you started ? .. so much detail they’re so cute . I can imagine you’re used to decorating now & it’s a bit easier . Beautiful work. I live in a small town I wanna start a cookie business. Have no idea how to even start .

[@Witchblade070502]

Amazing videos… Two questions… Any tips on making black icing… ? And what mold did you use for the gingerbread man bow ....I’ve looked all through the comments and I can’t find where you might have linked to this… Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us!

[@CookieliciousNZ]

Hi @Witchblade070502 black icing (and red icing) are the hardest to make in order to get the right shade. I use Chefmaster gel colouring and i found it more pigmented than the other brands. Although I usually still leave my icing colour to develop a bit more overnight. I would leave the icing in my mixing bowl with cling wrap directly touching the icing (to prevent crusting) and I let it sit in the fridge for 1-2 days (or at least overnight) and the colour will get darker & deeper overnight. I also always add a bit of vanilla/strawberry essence to tone down the taste of the black/red icing because they always taste a bit bitter to me comparing to other colours. Because of this process, I always have a small pot of both red & black icing ready in my freezer so when i need to use them I take the container out and let it thaw, when its ready I grab the amount that I need to decorate my cookies, its very handy rather than always waiting for a few days when you need to use black icing. Hope that helps 😉👍 Regarding the bow mold, please check my description box as i always put all the links to the tools i use to create the cookies including the cutters, mold, stencils etc. So please always check there first. Its the same bow mold that i used for my Frankensten Bride tutorial, in there i actually show you how to use the bow mold to create the fondant bow. In case you want to see it here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnXEhZumq9KDfbs

[@lorihahn3996]

Can u give a recommendation for a dehydrator please. Thanks 😊

[@chitowngal9201]

These are too cute!! 😍 Do u find that using the dehydrater makes the cookies dry, or does it not really affect them too much if at all?

[@CookieliciousNZ]

Hello my sweet friend, thank you so much for your kind words 😁 To answer your question, nope the dehydrator doesn't dry out my cookies or affect the quality/texture at all. What it does is drying the top layer of my icing and reduces the waiting time in between layers for me. However, the key is to not leave it there for a long period of time. My usual time is usually 20-30 mins at the lowest setting (mine is 35 degrees). If you leave it there for hours (or for too long) then yeah it will probably dry out your cookies, but while the icing is still wet it protects the cookie (acts like a layer of protection) and the dehydrator will only dry out the top layer of icing, not your cookie itself. I never had any complain so far about my cookies being dry 😁 PS: Just a little tip, if you are looking to get a dehydrator, I would highly recommend to get the one with the fan either at the top or at the back (not at the bottom) as we don't want the fan drying out your cookies from the bottom instead of drying the icing on the top of the cookie. Hope that helps 😉👍💞

I use Chefmaster Super Red and i found it more pigmented than AmeriColor Tulip Red, so you dont need to use a lot. Please check the link in description box to where I get mine from. Although I usually still leave my red icing colour to develop a bit more overnight. I would leave the icing in my mixing bowl with cling wrap directly touching the icing (to prevent crusting) and I let it sit in the fridge overnight. The colour will get darker & deeper overnight. Although with Chefmaster I found you can still get a decent bright red icing and use it straight away. I always have a small pot of both red & black icing ready in my freezer so when i need to use them I take the container out and let it thaw, when its ready I grab the amount that I need to decorate my cookies, its very handy 😁👍 Hope that helps 😉💞

Wow thank you so much for the prompt response and expanded explanation. I just browsed and found out that they don't sell Chefmaster here in the Netherlands. Too bad! 🙁 I make cakes with fondant & bought usually the ready super red and black fondants on store. It's really frustrating and impossible to make those colours, make my hands hurt and the fondant dries. I will need to order them via Ebay or Etsy I suppose.

Oh noes, that's a shame you can't get it delivered to the Netherlands, keep an eye out for eBay or Etsy maybe someone will sell it and ship to your country. Unfortunately i dont have much experience with fondant as i only use a little bit at a time to create fondant decoration for my cookies, so using a little bit is not the same with trying to colour a whole big batch of fondant. I do hope you find a solution as its not good to hurt your hand while decorating 😟
