Our easy circle Christmas cookies will get you icing like a pro in no time while you dabble in the yummy art of cookie decorating this holiday season! You’ll learn the basics of designing festive treats and taste-testing is part of the deal! It’s the perfect way to get your sweet tooth in the holiday spirit. Check out the online Beginner Christmas class here.
A small selection of the sets I’ve made are offered as online cookie decorating classes. For a full selection of all cookie sets I’ve made (both those that are classes and those that are detailed in full on the blog), click here.
This beginner class is made to be as accessible as possible: I bring you 10 (yes, TEN!) different Christmas designs on circles! You can use a cookie cutter, but you could also just use a water glass to cut them out!
This set was made with at-home beginner cookiers in mind, so it uses ONE consistency (my thick flood) and 6 colors. Yes, you heard that right! Now that’s my kind of beginner class!
Easy Circle Christmas Cookies
What makes these Easy Circle Christmas Cookies so special?
This Beginner Christmas class has taken the cookie world (and beyond!) by storm. And it’s no surprise why! Putting Christmas cookie designs on a circle is certainly not a new idea, but it’s never been done in such a simple and approachable way.
What I’ve done here is take 10 of the most iconic Christmas symbols and:
-simplified the designs down to the very core (less is more!)
-put them all on a circle (you can just use a water glass)
-used just 1 consistency (with a slight variation for the smaller details)
-plus optional sprinkles (no other fancy tools or decorations needed)
What does that all mean for you?
Less time spent prepping and less money spent on supplies. This means more energy you can put toward quality time with friends, family or solo decorating the most festive Christmas cookies. I’ve sold thousands of this class alone (and counting) and it never ceases to amaze me what incredible creations y’all make every time!
The most impressive part?
I’d guess that 99% of those who take this class have never worked with royal icing before. NEVER. (I highly recommend checking out the reviews on this class and the photos students have submitted.)
So what are you waiting for? It’s time to make some Christmas cookies!
Royal icing skills covered in this class:
- One consistency outline and flood
- Working with tipless bags (and cutting tipless bags)
- Piping and flooding with a thick flood
- Working with sprinkles
- Wet on wet technique
- Basic line work with a flood consistency
You will learn how to decorate (from start to finish) TEN Easy Circle Christmas Cookies
Santa Belt Cookie
How can you capture Santa without having to make a skin tone icing color? Why, just use his belt!
Elf Cookie
Look no further for the easiest way to depict an elf essence (no skin tone icing color needed!).
Gingerbread Man Cookie
The sweet cheeks and white squiggle just make this lil gingy man!
Christmas Tree Cookie
Even if your squiggle skills are wonky, it still looks great!
Rudolf Cookie
The dopey eyes and massive nose make this Rudolf!
Snowman Cookie
I know, he could have used a hat. But why add a hat when you know exactly what this is with just eyes, nose and mouth 😉
Peppermint Cookie
You’d be surprised how hard it is to come up with a SIMPLE execution of a peppermint, but we did it!
Snowflake Cookie
I know, snowflakes have 6 sides. But this is a beginner class, remember? We’re rocking 4 because it’s easier and you know what it is still 😉
Christmas Wreath Cookie
The simplest (and most effective) way to do a wet-on-wet wreath!
Christmas Lights Cookie
Quite possibly the surprise favorite in this set, just two strands of lights is enough to make this one a hit!

Free Resources for this Set
For every class set, I still produce my usual YouTube videos. One is a sped-up compilation of the full set (at a more reasonable pace than the fast video above) and the second is a tutorial. This tutorial video is *not* at all like the class video.
The free YouTube tutorial video (below) shows each cookie in real-time with a voiceover, however, it is much shorter than the class videos and does not include any additional resources (classes include a 60+ page workbook).
I deliver my class videos as if I was teaching a live class, so a 20 minute YouTube tutorial can easily be a 2 hour class video. Either way, I like to provide different levels of information with different levels of investment. Choose the path that best suits you!
