I saw this cute little gift cookie cutter awhile ago, and I thought it would be great because with one slice of a knife, gifts turn to coal.
I baked up my favorite sugar cookie recipe, and then whipped up some icing. Not to be a broken record, but if you add 1 T. of karo syrup to 1 c. icing, it will harden after about ten hours, and you can package it up.
I left the gift icing white, and then just dipped them in sprinkles.
I dyed some icing a reddish color, filled a ziplock, snipped the end, and piped on ribbon.
I dyed the coal icing gray (so any part that wasn't sprinkled would look darker), and repeated the process, minus the bow. Naughty people don't deserve bows.
I printed off some labels, slipped my cookies into baggies, and tied on the messages.
