Ingredients

1 package (18-ounce) refrigerated sugar cookie dough, softened (recommended: Pillsbury)
1 teaspoon brandy extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting surface
1 can (1-pound) store-bought white frosting
Assorted candies, for decoration
1 tube red decorating icing
1 tube green decorating icing

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine cookie dough with brandy extract and flour, kneading to combine. On a floured surface, roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out 3-inch squares (rounds or rectangles) and place on a cookie sheet. Cut out the center of each, leaving a border to fit a picture. Freeze for 20 minutes, and then bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned around edges. Cool on cooling rack. Frost with white frosting and decorate with assorted candies, or pipe with decorator icing. Adhere a photo with frosting.

Great Idea!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These frames were a HUGE hit at our Christmas party. Everyone loved how I personalized and placed them at each table setting.... Instead of using a picture, I wrote their name on a piece of paper and stuck it with frosting to the back of the frame; it was just as cute!Read more

Maybe good as frames
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

but they were an utter disappointment as cookies. The brandy extract did nothing but make the cookies taste like chemicals. ... I wound up shellacking them to hang on the Christmas Tree. Don't want anyone to mistakenly eat one.Read more

The frames were extremely brittle
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

broke very easily. Also the frosting was not the correct consistency for decorating.

Great conversation starter
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these for the family gathering with me and my wife's families. I displayed them all around the room. Everyone that was... invited was in at least one picture so it made the gathering even more personal to everyone. They were great for starting conversations and at the end of the night, people took them for souvenirs.Read more
