Crafting with #AirheadsCrafts

My family Received a variety of Airheads Candy for FREE to use in a craft project and we decided to use them on the shortbread cookies during our Christmas baking.
Shortbread Cookies!

Ingredients:

Cookie
1 cup good quality butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla also could use almond extract
2 1/2 cups flour

Frosting
Your choice we used (Blue Raspberry and Raspberry Sherbet)

Decorations
Different flavored airheads candy
Airheads Extremes
Airhead Bites

Cream together butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Once ingredients are mixed well start mixing in flour a little bit at a time until well blended and all flour is used. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350° roll shortbread dough into 1 inch balls place on baking sheet and slightly flatten with your thumb. Bake for 6 to 7 minuets or until slightly firm to the touch you do not want these browned. Remove from baking sheet onto wire rack to cool. Once completely cooled enjoy or you may decide to decorate them with frosting and decorations.

We decided to do two projects out of the #AirheadCrafts and shortbread cookies.



For the first decorating project we put a whole in the center top of cookie this should be a big enough hole to fit say a piece of string through.

We then used Airheads Extremes that we carefully cut into strips and used these as our "Yarn"


Then we frosted and decorated them how we wanted out Shortbread cookie ornaments to look. Of course we all had our differences some used Airheads Extremes, some used Airheads Bites, some used Airheads, and some had a mixture. Below are a few of our creations.


For our Second decorating project we decided to do a shout out to #AirheadsCrafts for the great products they sent us to review and use.
