TORTILLA SNOWFLAKE COOKIES OR DECORATIONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 F.
• Set out baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
• Take one tortilla at a time and place between 2 slightly damp paper towels.
• Place in the microwave on HIGH for about 20 seconds, just to soften.
• Fold tortilla in half, then fold in half again- it should now be a triangle.
• Using small very sharp scissors, cut out holes like you would for a paper snowflake- but don't cut on the fold lines or it will fall apart.
• Unfold and it will have a pretty design.
• Set unfolded snowflake onto the baking sheet and process with the next tortilla, until all are cut.
• Brush each side lightly with butter(you may not need it all), bake 5 minutes, then flip over and bake another 3-5 minutes until golden and crisp.
• While these are baking, set out a sheet of wax paper on your counter, then top with a wire rack.
• Have a sifter ready to fill with the powdered sugar.
• As soon as the tortillas come out of the oven, set them on the wire rack and dust with the powdered sugar to coat.
• Let cool completely, then dust again right before serving.
• If you like, you can tie a ribbon through one of the holes to hang these decoratively.

SWEET TORTILLA SNOWFLAKES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350°.
• Fold each tortilla into quarters and then snip out shapes with clean scissors as if to make a paper snowflake; add decorative cuts but not too many that your snowflake is too delicate and breakable. (If your tortillas are stiff, you can soften them in the oven for a minute or so).
• Place the snowflakes on lightly greased or sprayed baking sheets and bake 5 to 7 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned.
• Remove from oven and immediately dot each snowflake with about a dozen evenly spaced chocolate chips, then return the flakes to the oven just until the chips start to melt.
• Transfer the snowflakes to a cooling rack and "frost" the snowflakes with melted chips.
• Place frosted snowflakes in the fridge for 5-10 minutes to set the chocolate, then sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
