Maria Clara, yes the cookies have many uses…unfortunately, in the humid Manila weather, I would be worried about hanging them (I tried) as it is possible after a few days the pressure will break the cookie at its weakest link. In a dry winter environment, this would not be a problem. For the red dye, I just used the nice concentrated gels, not the watery dyes in bottles. Marga, you should have heard the number of expletives I was letting lose while in the middle of trying to decorate the cookies…I thought they would be a disaster. What this post illustrates is that they are actually doable…I am definitely not a very patient person…

MM, from whom did you inherit your “patience and preserverance” gene? Hats off to you and kudos! I could not believe my eyes, you actually baked and decorated them. I ALWAYS dreamed of making those cookies and hanging them on the Xmas tree but every time I think of how complicated they are, I just give up. You are indeed unbelievable. :-)

Those are really good looking cookies! I’m not sure I’d have the patience and artistry to pull those off. One of the reasons I started cooking/baking was because I wanted to “create” without necessarily having to dabble in “art.” =)
