The Cutest Gnome Cookies

 

The Cutest Gnome Cookies


These cookies were incredibly simple to make and taste so amazing. They look like mini cupcakes but they are actually delicious little holiday cookies gnomes that everyone will love.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gnome Cookie Cups

  • Refrigerated sugar cookie dough (I like the break and bake kind)
  • White Icing (grab one that comes in a tube and save the step of 'using a pastry bag')
  • Fresh Strawberries
  • Pink candies (I used Skittles “smoothie” flavors for these)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Bake cookies and place pan on a wire rack to cool.

While the cookies are still warm, take a small scoop to gently press the cookies into a cup shape. Then cool completely before removing from the pan.


Our happy gnome cookies have hats made from fresh strawberries and the flavor combination is so good!

Wash your strawberries and cut out the crowns in a v shape. This creates a hat shape in the strawberry when turned upside down.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Decorate your Gnome Cookie Cups

Now comes the fun part!

Take a fully cooled cookie cup and pipe frosting into the cup. You want to be a little generous here.


Then push a strawberry on top of the icing and add a pink candy nose just under the strawberry.

Take a toothpick to spread some of the icing to create the white beard. And you’re done!

How stinkin cute are these little guys??

Yummy year-round! Valentines Day, Independence Day, Christmas, You name it! Simply change the colors: Use orange frosting and dip the strawberries in black candy melts for a special Halloween treat or Green coloring for St. Patrick's Day!

I'd love to see your finished product...

The money I save is a big plus too!
I have been using stockpiles for so long, I forget where I first found it.
It must of been googling for bargains!"

Nina, GA

• "I just found this site today from a link off of another site I was visiting- I love the wide variety of offers there are and tidbits to learn!! What a great site!"
Shawn, MN

• I am so glad I found http://www.stretchthatdollar.com/.
I love http://www.stretchthatdollar.com/ because it is someone sharing their knowledge of savings and freebies in a day when so little people want to share anything.
The grocery bag deals are rarely for any of the stores in my area, but I pass the information on to others, that also clip q-pons and do their best to live frugally.
I do make sure I check the sunday coupons against the grocery deals that are posted, just to be sure I didnt miss something of interest on my own. (I have been known to miss a few...LOL)
I have saved so much by ordering items from the hot deals of the day too. Toys for my son and grandson . A clock for my father, that was made by a company that he has been searching for, since last fall. He loved it so much he ordered another one for his girlfriend.
Being a stay at home mom, after being the major bread winner in our family, our income has decreased by 2/3! http://www.stretchthatdollar.com has made stretching our very meager budget so much easier.
So...Thank you for all that you do, it is greatly appreciated.

• I found you months ago, from another website post. You find deals for me that I would otherwise miss out on.Thank you doesn't say enough.
Barb, CA

• I can find what I need by coming to your site and it's my favorite and usually the only one I visit for the best deals. Right now I'm looking for a deal on a hand vac. My 5 yr. old vacuumed up a bowl full of water with my last one. It no longer works, but atleast he didn't electrocute himself!
