3. Mix frosting with red food color to make red frosting. Using the photo as a guide, decorate cookies. Frost cookie tops with red frosting. Decorate with white icing for snow, sprinkle with white shimmer sugar. Draw lines with black icing. Add sprinkles for string lights and peanut butter cup half for ornament top.

Kitchen Tips:

• For smaller chocolate chip cookies, shape dough into 24 (1 1/2--inch) balls. Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until edges are light golden brown.

• Flat baking sheets are the best choice for making cookies. The flat sheets allow the air to circulate around the cookies, so they bake evenly and become the right shade of light golden brown. Lining baking sheets with baking parchment makes clean up a breeze.

• Store cookies (frosting side up) in a covered airtight container with waxed paper between layers.
