I know right?? What is up with the unequal color/flavour amounts?? Glad you have the candies to use them though 🙂

I’ll update you on the cookies. We’re on our way to the vacation home now. I failed miserably with the one tree plan. I blame these cookies and Amazon though. I ordered those cookie cutters like Nov28/29. They just showed up on Monday (Dec14). That left me with a solid two weeks and I put up another tree, albeit small one- it fit inside of a sleigh and added it to my foyer area. I had two others flanking my front door but removed after one kept falling over. Looking forward to decorating when I get to the vacation home and super excited to decorate the cookies and hang them on the trees I bought to use as centerpiece
Too bad I can’t post pics here.

Good thing I came back before attempting because I was thinking to use the sanding sugar. I did also crush the jolly ranchers so I have those on hand. Speaking of which, I thought I’d have 5solid flavors/colors…hmmm…there were more cherry and blue raspberry in each bag than any other. I had two grapes in one and one in another and the watermelon I had ONE in between the two bags! Good thing the color was similar to the cherry and I wasn’t in it for flavor or I would have been mad as a hornet. My hard candy eating friends had a good laugh at my expense- I’d never purchased jolly ranchers before so I was none the wiser that this is the norm in these packs.

Thanks so much for the tips Shana! I will remove the sanding sugar suggestion from my post. Surprised it didn’t melt! Love the idea of the swirl effect. That would look so pretty!

I ran some tests, and just wanted to let you know that sanding sugar on its own did not melt in the oven to creating a glass effect. It just kind stuck together in a glob. I didn’t want the flavor of jolly ranchers, so I made my own clear vanilla hard candy from sugar and corn syrup and then crushed that up and it worked great! You can do a swirl effect in it with a toothpick that’s been dipped in food coloring right when they come out of the oven for some color, or sprinkle some sprinkles on the candy for a snowglobe look. Just more ideas! Thanks for the resource!

14 trees!? Your place must be a winter wonderland. I bet it feels quite different with just the one tree this year! Let me know how the cookies turn out 🙂

Well here we are some 10monkey years into the COVID-19 and the holiday season. Let it be known that I never did try the cookies but am determined to now that it’s really Christmas.
Last year I had about 14 trees in my house and told my family that this year I would only put one in the house and we’d go away…then Covid!
These folks are holding me to the one tree which I just got done putting up and I’m feeling cheated. So here I am, the glutton for punishment, thinking let me work on my cookies.
I just ordered my cookie cutters… and the saga continues…

Hi Liz! Thanks so much for the update. A 1/8th tsp is actually a much better idea. I don’t think I had one at the time! I would use that going forward too I think. So glad you liked them 🙂

They turned out great! I ended up using a little 1/8th teaspoon to fill the spaces, and then a small paint brush to clean the cookies up. Apparently I am not steady enough to use the knife and pastry brush suggested. Just for those who were wondering about how many cookies this made, I got more than the recipe says but rolled them very thin. Also the cookie cutters I used were not very big.
