You ARE An Artist: Your Favorite Christmas Cookies

Tis the season for baking Christmas cookies! Christmas cookies are an art form, wouldn’t you agree? So, we wondered what type of Christmas cookies you love to bake and decorate. Some of our favorites are Christmas stars, trees, cookies shaped like ornaments and candy canes. There are always plenty of sprinkles. Maybe you like icing…

You ARE An Artist - Make Your Favorite Christmas Cookie. Create your favorite Christmas cookies with chalk pastels - add sprinkles, icing and cut out the shape you like - because you ARE an artist!

Favorite Christmas Cookies Art Tutorial

You can use a paper plate or a regular plate to trace around and make your plate just so. Or feel free to paint your plate free hand. You are the artist! Remember that when you cut out Christmas sugar cookies, that first you bake them. So use a darker yellow to draw the outline of your cookie shapes.

How to Draw Christmas cookies in chalk pastels step by step

After they are baked, some cookies might be more ‘done’ than others. Definitely each will be unique in their amount of sprinkles. And likely there will be a few sprinkles on your plate as well. Remember to add a bit of painterly effect around your plate. It must be sitting on something!

You can make as many of these cookies as you’d like – they are calorie and gluten free even. Plus pile on the sprinkles!

FEATURING YOU! YOU ARE AN ARTIST!

So, paint your Christmas cookies and be sure to share with us! Simply tag @chalkpastelart on social media, use the #YouAREanArtist hashtag, or upload a photo to the ChalkPastel.com Facebook page!

  • A note on chalk pastels: Pastels are an easy, forgiving medium. Fun for children and adults alike! Details on the pastels and paper we use, how and where to purchase, and links to all of Nana’s other pastel lessons are here: 100+ Free Art Lessons for All Ages plus the video The Very Few Must Have Supplies for Chalk Pastel Art. A simple set is very affordable. Nana also teaches acrylic lessons.
  • The practical aspects of a mess: Pastels are blessedly messy. We always have baby wipes close by to wipe hands. We wear something we don’t mind getting stained or don a smock.
