To me the holidays mean family and at a close second are COOKIES! Who doesn’t love cookies? They’re fun to make, fun to eat, great to give as a gift – and they can be a great place to show your Disney side!
The best and easiest cookies to use for all decorating are sugar cookies, but gingerbread cookies are great, too! There are also a lot of great ways out there to customize each cookie:
Cookie Cutters – There are so many amazing Disney inspired cookie cutters out there! But don’t worry, if you don’t have Disney cookie cutters you can use any shapes that you do have and deck them out with Disney inspired decorations. A great example for this would be a gingerbread person iced in the colors of your favorite characters – just like they do at the Parks! You can also use a knife to cut out Disney shapes.
Icing – I love icing, do you? Something as simple as food coloring can transform your cookies from simple to amazing. Whether you use a piping bag, a paint brush, or even just a knife you can use icing to add some color and Character to your cookies. If you’re really artistic you could even use themes from your favorite park or ride to decorate your cookies.
Chocolate – Yum! Whether you add the chocolate to the inside of your cookies or decorate the outside with melted chocolate it is a great way to add something extra special. There are also so many great different colors of melting chocolate available out there!
Sprinkles – So much fun! Great for adding some sparkle and more color. You can even find Disney sprinkles online.
While Rice Krispy Treats aren’t technically cookies, they are often found on the cookie table and they can be decorated just as easily as sugar or gingerbread cookies. They are also something that can be found all over the Disney Parks – so creating your own will not only help you show off your Disney side, but it might also help your fill that place in your heart that is empty when you’re missing Disney.
Do you have a Mickey or other Disney character waffle iron
Want to do something even more special this holiday season? Throw a Disney cookie decorating party!
It can be with just your kid or maybe invite some of their friends over. Don’t have kids but have nieces and nephews? Invite them over for some delicious fun. Or you can even just invite some of your friends over and feel like kids again!
Tips for a great, fun and stress free party:
- Have the dough for the cookies made and decorations set out before your guests arrive.
- Have a multiple bowls of icing and sprinkles as well as multiple different cookie cutters, if you’re going to be using cookie cutters.
- Set out some snacks for your guest to enjoy while they wait for their cookies to bake and while they create their Disney inspired holiday masterpieces. Cookies that you made before the party or even some store bought cookies, pretzels, Disney treats, or fruit are great options.
- After decorating enjoy some of your creations and maybe some hot chocolate.
- Have containers or bags for your guests to take home the cookies that they haven’t eaten!
