I remember going to my aunt's house to decorate Christmas cookies growing up - our kitchen really didn't have a lot of room and my aunt didn't have any children. I don't think either my mom or my aunt had a snowflake cutter, but trees, 5-point stars, wreaths, and snow people cutters. We would completely cover the cookies with icing, which I think was confectioner's sugar, water, and a lot of food coloring.
