I love Santa Clause cookie cutters; I own about 10 of them!  This is the third Santa-style I've made this year.  If they are unique, I like them even more.  I might have my project for next December to be twenty-five different Santas.

The idea for this Santa came from this shape I found from my Silhouette.  I cut the shape out on card-stock, then hand-cut the cookie.  To decorate this cookie, I started by piping and flooding the red coat and hat, allowing that to dry overnight.  The next day, I added the flesh tone face, the black boots and belt and green mittens.  Once all that had dried for a few hours, I added all the white trim and beard.  The final item added was Santa's face.
