I find it really calming to decorate biscuits. I make these each Christmas. I got the cutters from Paperchase a few years ago but I couldn't find them at the moment, they are these ones though. The biscuits need to be quite hard and the dough quite tough in order to stop the edges of the cookie snowflakes from breaking. I only really use the very large cutter and a star cutter for smaller biscuits.
After much yearly testing I have settled on this recipe from the Biscuiteers book which was also featured online here.
I again followed their instructions for decorating which involve edging the biscuits with a thick icing made with icing sugar and a little water and then filling the middle with a slightly wetter icing.
