'Tis the season for holiday treats! And I'm sharing a few your whole family can enjoy - courtesy of TheSoul-Publishing, the company behind the popular YouTube channel 5-Minute Crafts.
Snowman Marshmallow Cookies: After baking some plain sugar cookies, cover each in white icing, then stick a large marshmallow in the center. Add your snowman's features using brown icing, and you've got your very own Frosty the Snowman!
Mini Christmas Trees: All you need is a bowl of melted white chocolate and some ice cream cones. Add a few drops of green food coloring to the chocolate until you get that perfect evergreen shade, then dip your ice cream cones in it. Cover in sprinkles to really make these TREEts festive.
3-D Holiday Cookies: To make treats that really pop, you'll only need to perform a few extra steps. Cut out a typical shape, such as a tree, but remove a vertical rectangle from the bottom of the shape. Then, cut out another tree (but only the bottom half), and remove a vertical rectangle from the top of this shape. Cook, frost, and then fit the pieces together to make 3-4 cookies that stand up on their own.
You can find even more ideas here.
Enjoy!

How cute are these mini stockings from Dollar Tree? When I saw them, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with them...
I hand-stamped our names onto each stocking. Then I added some mini bells (also from Dollar Tree) using red-painted safety pins. Easy peasy!
I'll be using these as place settings for our Christmas table.
Total cost: $2.50 for the stockings. I had everything else I needed.
