I nearly abandoned this cookie project. I had stenciled the cookies days before, I was looking at them for a week before I actually finished them. You see I had no idea what to do next. Gingham design is pretty on its own but something was lacking, there was an empty space. I didn’t like it. During that week I also made royal icing holly leaves. I placed them on the gingham cookie and suddenly all was clear. I know cookie decorating is not a rocket science but sometime there more to it than meets the eye.
