COOKIE CUTTER LIST

You will need a few cookie cutters to create your own tasty dessert tree.

Here are the cutters used for this:

Flower Cookie Cutter - there are a variety that would work for this. I used one similar to the cutter in this cookie cutter set. I used a 3" size.

Star Cookie Cutter - To make your epic cookie tree topper, you can use any number of star cutter sizes. I chose a 3" size for mine.

Circle Cookie Cutter - To make the ornaments, you will need a small circular cutter. About 1 inch sized is perfect for this.

HOW TO MAKE A CHRISTMAS TREE COOKIE PLATTER

First, preheat your oven to 325°F. Then, knead the cookie dough with all of the all-purpose flour on a floured surface.

When it's combines, roll the cookie dough out until it' about ¼" thick.

• Use a Flower Cookie Cutter to cut out 10 cookies
• Use Star Cookie Cutter to cut out 1 cookie
• Use Circle Cookie Cutter to cut out 5 cookies

Place all of the flower and star cookies on a non-stick baking sheet and put in the freezer for 10 minutes or refrigerator for 15 minutes to preserve shape. Then, we will bake them.

Place your circle cookie shapes on a separate small cookie sheet and store in refrigerator while the others are baking.

Then, while flower and star cookies are baking, bake ornament cookies for 6-8 minutes.

Once all cookies are completely cooled, it's time to frost them.

Use green cookie icing to frost flower cookies and pink to frost star and circles.

Once icing is completely set according to your package directions, it's time to set up our tree.

On a large tray or platter, line 4 flower cookies at the bottom, then moving upwards a row of 3, then 2 and then 1.

Finally, add your star cookie at the very top and then place the circle cookies around the tree for decoration.
