100 Best Decorated Cookies for the Holidays and Beyond!

*I received 100 Best Decorated Cookies in order to facilitate an honest review.

Decorated Cookies are a tradition that seems to add magic to the holidays. My children marvel at the blank canvas placed before them–a barren, pale cookie. Sugarplums seem to dance in their head as they find inspiration to transform the cookie canvas into an artistic expression of Christmas.

Decorated Cookies Inspired!

This year, they’re gearing up with Julie Ann Hession’s new book, “100 Best Decorated Cookies”.  Here, with 750 step-by-step photos featured, they can learn new techniques to make the holiday cookie decorating even more fun and creative!

750 Step-by-Step Instructions for Decorated Cookies that Wow!

Color photographs throughout the book accompany the step-by-step instructions for creating themed sugar cookies beyond Christmas. Create Autumn Leaves, woodland creatures, a Paris theme, circus, farm animals and more. The margins offer the supplies you’ll need and tips to make certain of your success!

The spiral binding on this book is perfect, allowing the book to rest flat while following the step-by-step instructions.

I love the resource pages to find cookie baking ingredients and accessories.

Here’s a small but sweet sampling of decorating ideas:

  • Christmas: Stockings, Holly Leaf Place Cards
  • Halloween: Haunted House & Tombstones, Witch and Broom
  • Valentine’s Day: Message Hearts, Stained Glass Hearts
