  • Edible colored sugars different colors
  • 2 teaspoon meringue powder *
  • 2 tablespoon water
  • Ziploc® Brand Easy Open Tab storage quart bags - Family Pack 75 count

Instructions

  • First, melt the vanilla and chocolate candy coating according to manufacturer's instruction and set aside.
  • Line the cookie sheet with parchment and set aside.
  • In a small bowl mix meringue powder in the water and set aside. If using egg whites then use that.
  • First, dip one end round sugar cookies with Chocolate candy coating and then add crushed pistachio and peppermint candy canes.
  • In the cut out sugar cookies paint the edges with meringue water/pasteurized egg whites. Then carefully sprinkle your favorite colored sugars.
  • When you are packing the cookies in Ziploc® Brand bags add cardboard 4 inch round in the base so that cookies will stay properly. Then arrange cookies close the bag and tie with ribbon and top with printed bag toppers I used holiday themed one. Fold them over a Ziploc® Brand bag, and use double sided tape to attach them to the top. If you have some gift tags attach in the middle. You got a easy and simple holiday gifts.
