The holidays are over, but winter is just getting started! One of the very few things I look forward to in winter is walking outside in the snow when everything is so quiet and pristine. These snowy forest cookies remind me of one of those quiet walks.

I know this post is old, but I'd really love to know which size circle cutter you used for this. ....my guess would be 3". I'm getting ready to do these cookies and I don't want to "crowd the scene" so to speak. Thanks for all the wonderful tutorials. You make cookie decorating feel easy.
Hi Teri! I used a 3-1/4" cutter. I'm so glad you're enjoying my tutorials. Thank you!
Many thanks! Cookies going in the oven tonight!
Is this chocolate cookie easily doubled or do the proportions differ if I wanted a bigger batch? How many cookies does this original recipe yield? Thanks!
Hi Amber,
I follow your page for some time but this project has stolen my heart - I also love walks in quiet, fresh snow and both your design and the music in the video call this air so vividly! I always admire not only your projects (which are absolutely wonderful!) but also how greatly you put them together with the music. Thank you for this post!
Happy new year!
Radite prekrasne stvari!! Zbog Vas sam se upustila u avanturu ukrašavanja keksa. Nisu ni blizu vaših ali mi pričinjavaju zadovoljstvo. Hvala i ljepi pozdrav iz Hrvatske.
Amazing as always! I love watching these, but I fear that they look so yummy I would eat the cookie quickly and wouldn't admire the art and time you put into it. Great job!
