Be careful not to add too much or dough will become sticky. Knead 7 to 10 minutes until dough has a smooth, firm consistency. Place dough in a plastic bag to prevent drying and take out small chunks as you need them.
To make and transfer cookies first spread a large piece of aluminum foil on the work surface. Cut, shape and design ornaments from dough as you wish. When a cookie is finished and ready to be transferred to the baking sheet rip the foil all around the cookie an lift the foil and dough on to the baking sheet.

The Wreath
Roll a snake of dough and curl it into a ring. Spread a little water on the ends and press them together. Poke the wreath all over with the tines of a fork. Roll several tiny balls of dough with your hands and stick them on like berries using some water as glue.
Santa Claus
Start with a round ball for his head and press it slightly flat. Make a floppy triangle for his hat. Add a round pompon and a border for the hat using a little water as glue. Make a triangular beard and attach it to his chin. Then add a mustache, nose and eyes and two blobs of dough for hair on either side of his face.
