SANTA CLAUS SUGAR COOKIES RECIPE: HOW TO MAKE IT
I've used this recipe for almost 40 years and love it because it's a little different than most. My mom always made Santa cookies, and we'd put them into little clear bags tied with ribbon to hang on the tree.—Ann Bush, Colorado City, Colorado

SANTA HEART-SHAPED COOKIES RECIPE - BETTYCROCKER.COM
Sometimes creativity and simplicity come together in the kitchen and result in an idea that makes you say, “Now why didn’t I think of that before?” These super-cute and customizable Santa cookies started with an unbelievably easy twist: turning a heart-shaped cookie cutter upside down. With that simple move, the pointy end becomes Old St. Nick’s hat and the lobes of the heart make a full and fluffy beard. And speaking of simplicity, these cookies are oh-so-easy to make since the two key ingredients are Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix and Betty Crocker Rich & Creamy vanilla frosting. Where you go from there is up to you! Choose sprinkles, mini marshmallows, and candies of all kinds—and let the kids get in on the fun. Just be sure to have them ready to go by the time you hear footsteps up on the housetop. Leave them out with a glass of milk for a treat that’ll make Santa smile.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375°F.
- In large bowl, stir cookie mix, flour, melted butter and egg until soft dough forms. On floured surface, roll dough 1/4-inch thick. Cut with floured 3-inch heart shaped cookie cutter. On ungreased cookie sheets, place cutouts 2 inches apart.
- Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 20 minutes.
- In small bowl, stir food color into 1/2 cup of frosting to create desired color. Place 1/3 cup untinted frosting into small resealable food storage plastic bag; partially seal bag. Cut off tiny bottom corner of bag; set aside.
- Turn cookies so pointed ends are up. Working with one cookie at a time, spread 2 teaspoons of remaining untinted frosting on lower third of cookie for beard. Spread generous teaspoon red frosting on upper 1/3 of cookie for hat. Squeeze bag of frosting to pipe dots to attach eyes and nose. Pipe to finish hat, pom pom; decorate with additional decorations as desired. (Use photo as guide.)
- Decorate each cookie before starting another so frosting does not set. Let stand until frosting is set, about 1 hour. Store in airtight container at room temperature with waxed paper between layers.
