Cookie Roses
This might be the most creative of the bunch here. Cookie rose toppers are slightly more complex but worth the delight at the end.
Start with completely flattening out a piece of cookie dough with something hard and very flat, like a frying pan or a small wok.
Make sure the piece is very flat. Then do this again three more times. Next, layer the four flat pieces overlapping each other by about a quarter of the way cascaded vertically. They should resemble two overlapping number 8s at this point.
Next, starting from the bottom, begin rolling the bottom piece of dough. This will take the other three with it in a role sequentially. Once it is rolled up into a cannoli-like tube, gently press the middle with your finger to flatten it just a tad.
Follow this with slicing the rolled-up dough with a knife and separate the two halves. Next, stand these up on their now flat side, and you will see a beautiful rose shape on each. Feel free to unfurl the petals a bit. Repeat the process until you have filled up your cookie rack to your satisfaction.
