Sweet and festive — that's all anyone could ask of a Christmas angel. But when they are delicious, too, you'll have a hard time trying to save them for the tree.

Ingredients
Method
Place each portion of dough on piece of waxed paper or plastic wrap. Using paper as guide, roll up into 8-inch (20 cm) long log. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month; thaw for 20 minutes.)
Grease or line rimless baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
Cut logs into 1/4-inch (5 mm) thick slices. For body, cut 2 sides from 1 slice on diagonal to resemble triangle with flat top; place body on prepared pans. Roll side pieces into ball and flatten slightly; place at top of body for head.
Cut second slice in half; arrange with rounded sides touching cut sides of body to form wings. Repeat with remaining slices. Place, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart, on prepared pans.
Bake in top and bottom thirds of 375°F (190°C) oven, rotating and switching pans halfway through, for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden. Let cool on pans on racks for 5 minutes. Transfer to racks; let cool completely. Decorate as desired with silver dragee and Piping Icing. (Make-ahead: Store in airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 1 month.)
