Make these adorable Christmas gingerbread people face cookies with your kids. Just line up the candies and let them have a decorating party!

Decorate your whole home with festive Christmas crafts! Create homemade cards, your own Christmas ornaments, tasty Christmas recipes, or just snuggle up together with printable Christmas activities.

What you'll need:

How to make it:

1. Make cookie dough and use large round cookie cutters or a drinking cup to create circles. Bake as directed and allow to cool off completely.
2. Place different types of decorations into small bowls. We used Dots candy, spiced gumdrops, nonpareils, Skittles candies, and white tube decorator frosting (see image).
3. Use decorator frosting to draw on rick rack (see image).
4. To “glue” on eyes, cheeks and nose, dot some decorator frosting onto the cookie, then gently press the decoration on top of it.
5. Cut gumdrops in half, use the top half for eyes and bottom half for cheeks.
6. To make colorful hair, cover top of cookie with decorator icing them dip into nonpareils or sprinkles (see images).

 

Tips:

• If you would like softer cookies, do not roll the dough as thin and bake for a few minutes less.
• If you have several children participating, be sure to set out enough bowls of decorations and place them within reach.
• This is a perfect photo opportunity! Be sure to have your camera ready when the children begin to decorate.
