Ingredients

300g icing sugar
½ tsp peppermint extract
4 giant cookies
sweets and sprinkles, to decorate

Method

Mix icing sugar with peppermint extract and enough water to make a thick icing. Spread the icing over cookies and create a border around the edges using sweets and sprinkles. Leave for 10 mins for the icing to set. Then, using an icing pen, write a guest’s name in the centre of each cookie. When the icing is dry, wrap in cellophane and tie up with a pretty ribbon.
