The Cutest Gnome Cookies
These adorable Gnome Cookie Cups are a delightful treat, perfect for adding a whimsical touch to your holiday festivities. They’re simple to make and sure to bring smiles to everyone’s faces.
Ingredients
Scale
- For the Cookie Cups:
- 1 package refrigerated sugar cookie dough (24-count)
- For the Decorations:
- 24 fresh strawberries, hulled
- 1 cup white frosting (store-bought or homemade)
- 24 pink candies (such as pink Skittles or M&Ms)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cookie Cups:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Spray a mini muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Place one piece of the refrigerated sugar cookie dough into each mini muffin cup.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and, while still warm, gently press the center of each cookie with a small spoon to create a cup shape.
- Allow the cookie cups to cool completely in the pan before removing.
- Assemble the Gnome Hats:
- Wash and hull the strawberries, cutting out the crowns in a V shape to create a hat shape when turned upside down.
- Decorate the Gnome Cookie Cups:
- Once the cookie cups are cooled, pipe a generous amount of white frosting into each cup.
- Place an upside-down strawberry on top of the frosting in each cup to form the gnome’s hat.
- Add a pink candy just under the strawberry to represent the gnome’s nose.
- Use a toothpick or piping bag to spread some of the frosting downward from the nose to create the gnome’s beard.
Notes
- Ensure the mini muffin pan is well-coated with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- You can use mini cupcake liners if preferred.
- For added variety, dip the strawberries in colored candy melts to create different hat colors.
