- Use white icing to pipe Santa's beard to the hat, extending it to the sides of the cookie.
- Add two mini chocolate chips or dots of chocolate icing for Santa's eyes.
- Place a red candy or use red icing to create Santa's nose just below the eyes.
- Finish by using white icing to add a small pom-pom at the tip of Santa's hat.
- Let the icing set and harden before serving.
