If working with shortbread or some other cookie that frosts well, consider drenching in dark chocolate and sprinkling with crushed peppermints.
Another consideration -- dip triangle-shaped wedges of cheesecake in chocolate coating, then decorate with drizzled green icing and red dots as mini-Christmas trees.
When using sanding sugars, consider using spatulas, potato mashers or other kitchen implements as templates for geometric patterns. Also try pressing in on cookies with a meat tenderizer for inverse sugaring. You can sugar either before baking, or use corn syrup and sugar after baking.
