Today we’re sharing one of our favorite new easy Christmas recipes for kids, but first, a story about how they came to be! Our first snow fall happened last Sunday. My daughter was so excited that she went outside and built her first snowman of the season. She wanted a dancing snowman. Doesn’t it look like a dancing one?
Then when she got inside, she said: Where are my Christmas cookies? We are weeks away from Christmas and she is asking for Christmas cookies? But for her, first snowfall equals Christmas and cookies. I did not have any cookie batter nor the strength to make one. I was battling a nasty flu and did not have the courage to try baking in that condition. But I had a leftover crepe from the morning breakfast and thought she would have fun turning it into a fruit Christmas cookie recipe. The thing with kids is to get creative and think outside the box. My daughter did not care much as long as it looked like Christmas cookies. Besides she was excited to decorate her own look-alike cookies. Let’s see what she did.

Ingredients
- 1 crepe. You can use this crepe batter recipe.
- unsweetened coconut
- pomegranate
- Colored chocolate chips.
- clementine
- Christmas cookie cutters
Make it
The following fruit Christmas cookies were decorated by my daughter. I did not do a thing. I provided her with the ingredients and the crepe. I wanted her to have fun. It was also a great way to keep her busy on those sometimes boring Sunday mornings. I wasn’t in any shape to take her for a walk and didn’t want her watching TV all day. So this Christmas activity was a great one.
- With cookie cutter, cut Christmas-shaped cookies. With one crepe, she managed to make an angel, a cane and a snowman
- Put the cookies in a nice serving plate
- She sprinkled them with coconuts. She said it will look like snow
- Then she decorated her Christmas cookies.
Since she was in the mood to make other Christmas food, my daughter wanted to make a fruit Christmas tree. Again, I didn’t help her with the decorations. She did it all by herself. All I did was supervise the activity and make sure she had the ingredients.
Fruit Christmas Tree
You need a Christmas tree plate. I got one at a Dollar store but you can find great deals at Amazon too.
Fruits:
- Pomegranate
- Clementine
- Raisins
- apples
- nuts
- carrots (not a fruit, I know, but my daughter wanted them)
Let your child decorate as he or she wishes.

I love the fruit Christmas tree! So many Christmas treats are bad for you, that it’s nice to see a healthy one.
And I can’t believe that you got enough snow to build that tall of a snowman – that’s amazing!
Your daughter is adorable! I also love the craft and snowman idea.
How adorable! I love spending time with the kids baking this time of year!
Ahhh, thank you for this idea! My kids have been asking for Christmas cookies since Thanksgiving night!
The fruit tree is really cute! I love the creativity with the crepes.
We don’t celebrate xmas so dont make “xmas” cookies per se. But we do enjoy cookies anytime so this is a fun idea for us to try.
We always make Christmas cookies. Now that the kids are older we make pies to.
Everything looks great. I can’t wait to start decorating cookies here!
Gimme the fruit xmas tree! Healthy & yummy as well :)
Those are some very cute cookies, I also love that snowman!
Aww – I love that snowman! These are great things to do during the holidays (and snow days!!)
I remember baking with my Mum at Christmas it was always really fun and felt like part of the festivities.
Great save mom! These look terrific and I am sure she had a blast decorating them. I’ve never been really good about making cookies I usually make different kinds of candies but these look easy enough I might give them a try!
These looks awesome – kids love to help everytime!
These are great! And she did such a good job! (Love the concentration in the picture LOL)
Great work Olfa’s daughter. I love that snowman. This reminds me of my kids. They would totally do that. They love to bake and be out in the snow and craft too.
The kids at my house love to make Christmas cookies. Always looking for fun recipes.
What fun ways to have kids help out with the Christmas foods! I love the idea of that tree plate. I am checking out my dollar store for a similar one!
These are cute and perfect for young children. My son would love making them!
Good idea. My kids love cooking and baking so we we’ll be making some cookies this year too.
I like no-bake cookies for my kids at Christmas. These are really cute ideas, thanks for sharing them.
My favorite cookies for kids are the scoop and drop. It’s hard to go wrong with those.
Those look wonderful! I love that they’re delicious AND so much fun.
How adorable! This is one thing my kids would love and do love doing is making cookies but cookies just for them? They’d love it!
What a superb idea on the fruit tree. Fun to decorate too!
Love the back story of the cookies, which look delicious by the way! And that fruit tree is adorable – and such a good idea.
My Daughter and I used to make Christmas cookies together every year. Then, we did it with my Granddaughters. Since I haven’t been able to do sugar lately, I don’t bake with them.
