Oreo Santa Belt Cookies
Consider covering your work surface with parchment paper when you let the kids help, it’ll save you the messy clean up at the end! You can cover your entire table or work surface with it! Parchment paper is your best friend when it comes to baking with littles! Use it for them and then use those reusable silicone baking mats when baking! 😉

These look pretty impressive on a platter for entertaining, but could also be placed individually in cellophane baking bags and given out at class parties with a shimmery twist tie or decorative twine and cute note attached!
How to Make Santa Belt Oreos
For this fun holiday recipe, you will need the following supplies:
- Oreo cookies
- red candy melts
- coconut oil
- Black decorating frosting
- yellow fondant
- White decorating frosting
Melt your red candy melts with coconut oil slowly in a double boiler or microwave. (I prefer the microwave, less things to wash later!) Immediately start dipping your cookies into the melted candy using a fork, set them on wax or parchment paper.
Set the cookies aside to cool completely and harden so they can be decorated further.
Once ready, use the black decorating frosting to draw on Santa’s belt.
Using the yellow fondant, cut into tiny squares or rectangles and place on the belt in the center as the belt’s hardware.
Dot two white frosting buttons onto each cookie above the belt. Let everything set and dry before serving! Aren’t these so adorable?
