I couldn't think of a better way to accentuate this season than with my designer ginger snap ornaments. This recipe was originally a European tradition which consisted of preparing various fruit and popcorn to use as decoration for their holiday tree. My family has since modified the tradition into one where we bake cookies and decorate them to use as our one -of -a -kind, original, designer tree ornaments! It's a fun way to loosen your inner child and it makes for a excellent snack too.

First you must find a delicious recipe for Ginger Snap cookies. Be sure not to confuse these with ginger bread because the difference lies in the flatness and firm consistency of the snap. And follow the following steps to enjoy these versatile treats.
1. Prepare Dough.
2. Cut into fun x-mas shapes. (tree, wreath, star, santa, snowman…)

3. Take a straw and make a hole at the top of the cookie before baking in order to hang on tree.
4. Bake cookies and let them cool off when finished.
5. Brush with corn syrup and decorate with sprinkles of your choice.
6. String red, green or white ribbon through the hole you created before baking, tie a knot and hang on the perfect branch. Victoria Seguin
