to decorate:.
ice with your favourite icing and sprinkles.
or try using crushed candy canes and drizzle with chocolate.

Tips:

Use quality ingredients. Fresh, high-quality ingredients will result in better-tasting cookies.
Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help the cookies to be chewy and tender.
Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
Bake the cookies at the right temperature. The temperature should be high enough to cook the cookies through, but not so high that they burn.
Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them to keep their shape and flavor.
