Winter Country Scene made of Cookies

At our annual gingerbread house decorating party, there's already so much sugar that we don't need a dessert table. But I came up with the idea of making the backdrops for the beverage and food tables INTO a cookie display! I wanted it to look like a folk art painting of a winter country scene. Charming little houses and barns, sleighs, trees, snowmen, and Santa, of course!
