Directions
Mix together some of the royal icing with the flesh-tone food coloring until desired shade is reached. Transfer to a small squirt bottle. To create face and hands on the cookie, outline the area with flesh-tone icing (see template). Draw several zigzags across entire surface of the outlined area. If necessary, use a toothpick to spread evenly. Using tweezers, add nonpareils to create eyes. Let dry.
Mix together some of the royal icing with the red food coloring until desired shade is reached. Transfer to a small squirt bottle. To create hat, jacket, and pants on the cookie, outline the area with red icing (see template). Draw several zigzags across entire surface of the outlined area. If necessary, use a toothpick to spread evenly. Using tweezers, add gumdrops to create buttons on jacket.
Mix together some of the royal icing with the black food coloring until desired shade is reached. Transfer to a small squirt bottle. To create boots on the cookie, outline the area with black icing (see template). Draw several zigzags across entire surface of the outlined area. If necessary, use a toothpick to spread evenly. Let dry.
Mix together some of the royal icing with the white food coloring until desired shade is reached. Transfer to a small squirt bottle. To create trim on hat, jacket, and pants, outline the area with white icing (see template). Draw several zigzags across entire surface of the outlined area. If necessary, use a toothpick to spread evenly. Sprinkle trim with sanding sugar. Using tweezers, add a mini marshmallow to top of hat to create a tassel. Let dry.
To create beard on cookie, outline the area with white icing (see template). Draw several zigzags across entire surface of the outlined area. If necessary, use a toothpick to spread evenly. Using tweezers, add red hot candy to create a nose. Sprinkle beard with white sprinkles. Let dry.

For all of you that are looking for the santa cookie cutter there is a set on ebay right now. That is your best bet to find them now they are hard to get. Good luck.

It would be soooooo nice not to have to click three times to get the recipe to print or to look at the ingredients in the recipe. What a waste of time!

to nbabich: you might have mixed the dough too much. stop mixing as soon as the flour looks mixed in; even a little undermixed Finish with your hands or spatula when you form the rounds before refrigerating.

Does anyone know where to get those small squirt bottles that are being used for icing the cookies during this segment?

Just finished making the cookies. The decorations/icing looks great, however I'm not too thrilled about the cookie itself. I'm new to baking. The cookie was tough. Any suggestions? My cat knocked one cookie on the floor and it broke into pieces.

Folks, the santa cutters are definately at macy's, but they have been hard to find. I live in Chicago, and the store at old orchard in skokie had only noah's arch and alphabet cutters. I do, however, work downtown, so I went to the state street store today and found a bunch of the santa cutters. They are in a set of 6, sticker price is 9.99 but they are on sale at 50% off. I only paid a little over $5 with tax. My advice for the person who lives far----try using the store locator on their website to find the number for the state street store and see if they will ship a set to you. The sku # is 2308-1463 "holiday cookie cutter set". If not, shoot me an email at ktdolphin74@gmail.com and I'll see how I can help u.

These cookies are so cute that i felt bad for eating them. I couldn't find the cookie cutter anywhere, so I had to make do, and just trace the paper template onto the dough with a knife. it's easy but you have to make sure the dough is COLD or else it looks like crap

I just bought a set of rolling pin bands at KingArthurFlour.com They are the best tool when rolling dough of any kind to a specific thickness. Used them when I made my gingerbread house and they worked like a charm.

I love Martha, love the cookies, but I am so disappointed that I can't buy these cookie cutters online. I live 200 miles away from the nearest Macys and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

The cookie cutters are available at Macy's stores in the Martha Stewart Collection area, at least that is the only place I have seen them! They come in a box of 5-6 Christmas/holiday themed cookie cutters and if your local Macy's doesn't have anymore, maybe you could ask them to check another store to see if they are carrying it.
I have seen the rolling pin thickness bands for sale at Bed Bath

You may want to try making a funnel out of wax paper to fill the bottles, or put the icing into a plastic bag, snip the corner and squeeze into the bottle. Just a suggestion.

Dumb question, but I am a guy who never bakes. I would like to surprise some people with these santa cookies but need directions on the cookie itself. Can anyone tell me where to find the directions on the dough and baking instructions?

You can find them in the cake decorating section of a craft store. They are usually used for chocolate making.
