To make the Cookie Weights: Select 4 baked Christmas tree cookies. Using half of a standard-size candy cane, gently poke a hole through 2 of the 4 cookies from the top side of the cookie out through the bottom side. Frost the other 2 whole cookies, and make 2 sandwiches (bottom sides together) with 1 whole cookie and 1 cookie with a hole poked through in each sandwich. Insert the halved candy cane into the frosting-filled hole in the sandwich. Repeat on the other side of the candy cane with the other sandwich.

To make the Candy Cane Weight Bench: Arrange 3 candy canes to make a bench.

Position Elf on the Shelf on weight bench, and place cookie weights on Elf’s chest, using photo as a guide.
