How Far in Advance Can you Make Decorated Sugar Cookies

Because they are frosted, the ingredients tend to get soft if left too long. However, if you keep them in an airtight container, you can make these decorated sugar cookies a day in advance, but not much more if you want them to stay fresh.

Tips for Making These Fun Christmas Cookies

• Don’t worry if you break a few Oreo Cookies while cutting them in half for the snowmen. They just become snacks or the base for Mini Oreo Cheesecakes 😉 
• M&Ms or any small red candy works for the noses on the reindeer and snowmen.
• Store-bought sugar cookies work great in the recipe. However, if you’re feeling ambitious, we like this recipe for homemade sugar cookies. 
• Finished cookies are best stored in an airtight container.
