Ideas for festively decorated Christmas cookies
The possibilities are almost endless. For a classic look, cover your cookies with royal icing and draw fine lines with the gold double-tipped food pen. Spring Green fondant becomes a Christmas tree, Fire Red turns into Santa's hat and Marshmallow White into a snowman. Sea Blue and Baby Blue create wintry ice crystals, Hot Pink makes playful stars, and shiny gold fondant gives every cookie an elegant touch. Velvety glitter snow powder, red and green glitter sugar or the Mini Snowflakes, Frozen and Frosty sprinkles bring winter magic straight to the plate.
Add beautiful festive decorations to your creations
Whether you want to embellish Christmas cookies or other festive treats, this category offers countless options. You will find a wide variety of items, from sprinkles and medleys to mini pearls, Christmas nonpareils, gold nonpareils, marzipan and fondant. For a family workshop, we recommend chocolate pens, which are easy to use and let your children decorate their own cookies. They are available individually in colours such as red, green, pastel pink, pastel blue, orange, purple or midnight blue, and as a set of 10 chocolate pens. These decorations give every cookie a personal and festive touch that makes your treats even more memorable.
Decorate your cookies like a pro
With a little planning, decorating is relaxed and fun. Our tips:
- Let cookies cool completely: icing and fondant only hold on fully cooled cookies.
- Work with royal icing: use a firmer consistency for outlines and a runnier one for flooding, then let it dry well.
- Roll fondant thinly: cut it with the same cutter as the dough and stick it on with a little water or icing.
- Sprinkle straight away: nonpareils, glitter sugar and mini pearls stick best to icing that is still wet.
- Details last: food pens such as the double-tipped Jet Black are perfect for faces, lettering and fine patterns.
Get equipped with good tools
Before decorating, it is important to have the right tools ready. Rolling pins, dough sticks and perforated trays are essential equipment, which you will find in the Cookie baking tools category.

What to look for when buying
Think about how much you want to decorate: for a few accents, 250 g packs of fondant are enough, while for large batches a 1 kg block such as Marshmallow White, Spring Green or Fire Red is worthwhile. Royal icing is available in 450 g and 900 g. If you decorate with children, chocolate pens and sugar pens are the best choice, as they are ready to use straight away. For gluten-free recipes, you will also find Baby Blue nonpareils labelled gluten-free.
