I haven't started my Christmas baking yet, but I'm sure I will make at least 1 dozen package cookies sometime this month.

I love this cookie...it's cheerful and makes a great gift for just about anyone. I've made THOUSANDS of this cookie over the past nine years...take a peek at some of the variations...![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYbn9POHmJ22k0YybuIq_xVftYEl3wYWRwZohU16KnBI_iBu5_MvdgYrG10rsINFEM_0euxyLAOGKJ6i0ML8NwQdSw-JFPADBtQhBLnQS8UtDqIBv7jCgwBTz9LEq69LaNChZyqDvD12ac/s400/Christmas~Packges.jpeg)

The squiggly lines were made by dragging a toothpick through wet icing. For the holly leaves (I like the ones in the top pic best), I piped dots of royal icing onto the dried flood icing and then added leaves with a food coloring pen (Americolor Gourmet Writers).![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF7JeCSQ-MX9gOMzFr_pBhlKdu3Gt6_9D1adezVFv1fdc62wlzOPf67qdlrW1vbGtQWfjw7QxNBeaNUIriMFQw5W3lWetK9LctErDYcP3wOKjJoT-GD6hcAFW9fsu3tONjv6kdLUhh7Wnm/s400/Polka~Dot~Packages.jpeg)

And, of course, there are dots! To learn more about adding dots, click here.
Last year, I decided to change up the bow a little and add sanding sugar. Here's how to do it. I thought plain packages with the sugar would be cute, but ended up reverting back to dotty ones. :)![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz79DEeoJTPimQDiJLeAaL3w9XKjZXU15p51wU63hGTnwxp5JLoCFyxrgferQL8jB-QF4TRrtF1kupaGdzK4VU6cFUchi6tK64cEnWTX0Sfpz7HqOPX-5DSueFuy4DZ0aEI8Swf_cJlutg/s400/dots+and+sugar.JPG)
This year, I think a light blue and red package would be really sweet!
