Spicy Cookie Garland
create a spicy cookie garland to hang over a doorway, on a mantle or anywhere else it fits. To create a garland, roll your cookie dough, cut out shapes. Place shapes on baking tray and using a toothpick, poke two large holes at the top of the cookie (the holes should be side-by-side). When the cookies are cooled, string ribbon from the back of the cookie through one hole and then push it through the other hole, proceed to string all the cookies on the ribbon, then hang your garland. Cookies don’t even need to be iced to be decorative.
