Quick & Easy Santa Sugar Cookies! 🎅

A super simple and fun no-bake recipe for festive Santa sugar cookies, perfect for holiday gatherings with kids!
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 12 cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 12 store-bought sugar cookies
  • 1 16-ounce can vanilla frosting
  • 24 candy eyes
  • 12 small cinnamon candies (like Red Hots)
  • red sugar sprinkles
  • 1/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut approximately
  • 12 miniature marshmallows
  • 1 black edible food marker

Instructions
 

  • Gently attach two candy eyes and one small cinnamon candy to the upper middle part of each sugar cookie. A tiny dab of frosting can help them stick perfectly.
  • Spread a thin, even layer of vanilla frosting over just the top third of each cookie. This will be the base for Santa's hat.
  • Carefully sprinkle red sugar over the frosted top third, leaving a clear line of plain cookie or frosting below it for the face.
  • Frost the bottom third of the cookie. This area will become Santa's fluffy beard.
  • Gently press sweetened shredded coconut onto the frosted bottom section to create a soft, white beard for Santa.
  • Attach a miniature marshmallow right at the very top of the cookie, above the red sprinkle hat, for Santa's hat pom-pom.
  • Use your black edible marker to draw a cheerful smile on each Santa's face. Voila! Festive and fun cookies are ready!
