Mickey Mouse Gingerbread Cookies
Here at Ruffles and Rain Boots, we make Christmas cookies pretty much starting the week before Thanksgiving all the way until January 15th. There are just so many Christmas parties and loads of different reason to make a cookie. So, as part of my cooking-making-fun this year, I made these awesome Mickey snowman cookies!

Tips to Make Cookies for Christmas
- Instead of using icing to make the details, if you want, you can melt some chocolate chips or use chocolate coating discs. Just be aware that if you do that, it will harden as it cools, so work fast.
- I always recommend pulling the excess dough away from cut out cookies like gingerbread men or these Mickey Mouse Christmas cookies. Don’t try to scrape up your cut cookies–just roll out your dough on your parchment paper and cut them there, pull the excess cookie dough away and then bake.
- Make sure each layer of icing is dry before putting on the next. If you don’t, for example, when you put the black of the ears on, the seam will basically melt into the white of the snowman and won’t be a clean line.
