Snow globe cookiesfood gift ideas for christmas
The cookies are regular sugar cookies decorated with sanding sugar and nonpareils.
I glued them to the bottom of an old jar with melted sugar and poured in some more sanding sugar.
Put the lid back on and it kinda looks like a snow globe.
Think its a great gift idea.
You get some yummy cookies and a great jar.
