These glittering treats are easy to make and, best of all, elves of all ages and skill levels can do the decorating. Use a spatula to spread icing easily over the cookies and shake on layers of sugar in various shades of green to create a gradient from dark to light. Gold dragees make for simple tree toppers that bring your decorating skills to a new level.
