  • 12 peanut butter wafer cookies, Nutter Butters
  • 1 cup vanilla icing
  • red sanding sugar
  • small white decorating pearls
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • mini chocolate chips
  • small red hots

Instructions
 

  • Line up cookies. The quickest and easiest way to make these Santas is to do each step to all the cookies before moving to the next step.
  • Place ¼ cup icing in small storage bag and cut a tiny hole in the corner.
  • Starting with Santa’s hat, spread icing about 1" down from the top of each cookie being sure to cover the sides. Sprinkle red sanding sugar over icing. Now pipe a line of icing below the red sugar and press in small white pearls to crate the trim. Santa has a hat!
  • Next is the beard. Spread icing over the bottom half of the cookie, again being sure to cover the sides. Press in shredded coconut until all icing is covered.
  • Now pipe a dab of icing on the backs of two mini chocolate chips and put the eyes in place then attach the nose (red hot) using another dab of icing.
  • Watch the kids eyes light up!

Notes

Make a fun afternoon out of decorating the cookies—set the decorations on the table and let the kids go to town!
