Wilton Baking Goods Make Wonderful Christmas Cookies Easy

I'm not all that terrific in the kitchen, I tend to get distracted very easily but every Christmas I pull out the stops and try my hand at cookie making. Being an artist this holds my attention. I love creating interesting shapes and decorating them. What makes it easy to turn out wonderful looking cookies is the WIlton line of product.

Wilton makes such wonderful products to decorate cookies with I'm actually inspired. Now, that my children know how much I adore doing this they have outfitted me with all the Wilton tools I need to turn out some pretty impressive cookies. Wilton offers a line of sprinkles seasonally oreinted, not just for Christmas but for Easter and Halloween if you get the bug. I like the divided containers that offer shapes and sugars as well as jimmies. I have the choice that way of which to use without storing a dozen little containers. Each of the sections has a shaker spout so it's easy to control the amount of material you are adding to your cookie. The Christmas selection has tiny Christmas trees along with the jimmies and red and green colored sugars.

They also make a super selection of cookie cutters. The ones I prefer all have padded edging to prevent your hand from getting tired when you are pressing out dozens of cookies.They run between 4" and 5". I have the Christmas Tree (green edge, of course), the Christmas stocking (red edge) and the Snowman. The star I have is red edged as well. These are so attractive you could use the cookie cutters to hang on gifts if you're giving a gift to someone who loves to bake. You could also hang them on the tree and then as your guests arrive you can offer them one with a simple cookie recipe attached. These are all easily purchased at places like Target for 90% off after Christmas or at Jo Ann's, Michael's or A.C.Moore's Wilton departments. You can also shop for everything Wilton online at the Wilton Online Store.
