These Christmas gnome sugar cookies are just adorable! They are fun to make and fun to eat. They look cute sitting on a table.
You can either use premade cookie dough in the tubes or make your own dough. I have a sugar cookie recipe that I love, but I did grab premade dough to make this gnome cookie cups recipe.
These aren't just Christmas cookie cups; they'd also be cute for Valentine's Day or just because.
You'll need a mini muffin tin to make these gnome cookies. A regular muffin tin is too large.
I used a premade cookie dough in the tubes because it's the fourth quarter and I'm a hot mess until January.
You can also use a sugar cookie pouch and make them semi homemade or use your favorite sugar cookie recipe.
If you use premade dough because you're busy, don't worry. It's our little secret. I won't tell anyone if you don't.
I like to use either Pillsbury premade dough or the Aldi brand if I can find it. There are other brands of cookie dough mixes that are really good too.
This gnome cookie cups recipe is pretty basic, but here are some variations that you can try to make them your own recipe.
- Use chocolate chip cookie dough instead of sugar cookie dough.
- Use peanut butter cookie dough for Christmas cookie cups.
- Use different candies for the nose. Try cinnamon imperials or edible pearls.
- I used strawberries for the hats. You can also make them out of icing, but the gnome cookies decorated may not travel well with the fragile icing hats.
- Try using different colored noses for different holidays.
- Use Hershey's Kisses or Hugs for the hats.
