Enchanted House

Make these decorations a week in advance and store them in hermetically sealed containers

Prepare the glaze: mix together egg whites, confectioner's sugar, and cream of tartar in a large bowl

Beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap to prevent drying out

Make the base of the house: place the glaze in a piping bag and pipe onto the surface of one cookie

Place 2 cookies on top, one on each side, to create the walls, and press down well

Secure for a few minutes until the glaze sets

Repeat the process 13 more times, allowing at least 1 hour between each layer to allow the glaze to set properly

Make the roof: pipe additional glaze onto the top of the walls, pipe glaze along the sides of 2 cookies and attach them to the walls, applying gentle pressure to form a slightly inclined roof

Secure for a few minutes until the glaze sets

After building the entire house, allow it to set for at least 1 hour

Decorate the houses by making windows and doors using the glaze piped into the piping bag

Make some zigzag lines representing nine, and place the coconut ball on top like a chimney

(If necessary, trim to desired size.) Allow the house to dry completely (about 1 hour)

Tie a nylon thread around the opening of the house and make a loop to hang it from a tree

Make 14 houses.
