Welcome to Christmas Cookies Week 2023! Each year this event provides me enough cookie recipes for the entire year! Thank you to Jolene's Recipe Journal for hosting us this year.
Baby Jesus Cookies
This year I focused on cookies that can be made with a helper. I have a new grandson who turned one this November and I am already looking forward to the time when he can bake with me! My first set of cookies I am simply calling Baby Jesus Cookies and it is the perfect cookie to have a young one help you with!
While it isn't a "recipe" as such, more like a series of steps to follow, this cookie is delicious as well as so cute. I would take it to my Sunday School class as a Christmas treat, or a plateful to a nursing home that allows homemade goodies.

Such a darling cookie to make for the Christmas season!
Ingredients
- 1 package of Nutter Butter Cookies
- 1 tub of premade vanilla frosting
- 1 T chocolate chips
- 1 package of ready-to-bake sugar cookies
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Bake ready-to-bake sugar cookies as per package directions. Let cool.
- Scoop out 1/3 of vanilla icing from tub. Add 3-4 drops blue food coloring. Stir.
- Dip the bottom half of a nutter butter cookie in the blue icing and place on waxed paper. Let dry. Continue until all cookies are dipped. Scoop the remainder of the blue icing onto a fork and wave over the blue "blankets" giving a textured effect.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave oven for 30 seconds. Using a toothpick, paint "closed eyes" on each of the nutter butter cookies.
- Add 4-5 drops of yellow food coloring to the rest of the icing in the tub. Stir well. Frost the tops of the cooled sugar cookies with the yellow icing to resemble hay. Place a "Baby Jesus" nutter butter on top of the sugar cookie.
- Let fully dry.
