Welcome to episode #4 in my 5-part Holiday Cookie series! Today I’m showing you simple, creative techniques to decorate sugar cookies with a stunning vintage finish—even if you’re using store-bought cookies! 🍪✨

⭐ WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:
• How to cover up cookie “imperfections” (like brown edges) using wafer paper and edible dusting powders
• Magic tips for working with wafer paper—how to rip, trace, and adhere vintage-style layers
