The iced Christmas cookies are colorful and fun treats to make during the Holidays for the little ones, perhaps with their help.
I prepared cookies with spelt flour without using eggs and butter. Then, with the appropriate molds, I made cookies in the shape of Christmas trees and balls, baked them in the oven, and then iced them with a water glaze.
For the decoration, reminiscent of Christmas lights, I used dark chocolate and colorful sprinkles. With these iced Christmas cookies, you can surprise your little ones and bring sweetness and color to the holiday days!

Preparation
To make the iced Christmas cookies, pour the flour with stevia and cinnamon into a bowl. Mix and add the honey and seed oil. Knead until you get a sandy consistency.
Finally, add the water little by little until it is completely absorbed and you get a smooth dough.
If at first it seems like it doesn’t mix quickly, don’t be discouraged and keep blending the ingredients. It will result in a very smooth and compact dough.
Form a ball and transfer it onto the work surface. Using a rolling pin, soften the dough and make cookies with the appropriate molds: in the shape of balls and Christmas trees.
Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 15 minutes, until golden. Once ready, place them on a rack to cool.
Meanwhile, prepare the glaze. Pour the powdered sugar into a small bowl. Boil the water and add it gradually to the sugar. Stir to dissolve the sugar and mix until the sugar is completely dissolved and lumps are avoided.
If the glaze is too runny, add more powdered sugar, one tablespoon at a time; conversely, if it is too thick, add a little water. The glaze should have a sticky consistency.
Pour the water glaze into a piping bag and cut a small tip. Cover the entire surface of the cookies with the glaze.
Melt the dark chocolate in a bain-marie and transfer it to a piping bag with a small tip. Create horizontal lines of chocolate on each cookie.
Place colorful sprinkles on each cookie, placing them laterally and pressing lightly. Let them rest for a couple of hours before enjoying. Enjoy!
