Today Show: Christmas Cookies

Today Show invited Deborah Stallings Stumm, author of The Super Mom’s Guide To Simply Super Sweets and Treats, to share some Christmas cookie ideas in time for Santa. She made Christmas Tree and Santa Cookies. You can also try Powdered Sugar Snowmen and Reindeer Pops.

“We’re all about perfectly imperfect moms,” Deborah said. “All of our ideas, you take store-bought ingredients, you transform them into mini masterpieces.”

Super Moms: Today Show Christmas Tree Cookies Recipe Directions

1. Unwrap a Hershey’s Kiss and place it in the center of a White Fudge Oreo. (I think you might need to use white frosting to get that and the coconut to stick to the cookie. Alternately, you could use regular Oreos and dip them in melted white chocolate.)
2. Add shredded coconut around the Kiss.
3. Pipe green frosting over the Kiss so that it resembles a Christmas tree.
4. Use sprinkles as the ornaments to decorate each tree.
