As the holiday cookie season kicks off, these modern Christmas trees are a fun way to liven up your sugar cookie repertoire! Using your favorite sugar cookie and buttercream recipes, both kids and adults can have fun with this simple, but beautiful design. I've linked up a couple different sources in the supplies below, but you'll probably be able to find everything you need at your local baking supply store. Supplies
Tips
Directions 1. Divide the buttercream into 3 separate bowls. You will only need a small amount of red and brown icing, so divide accordingly. Use the gel colors to tint the icing. 2. Fit the pastry bags with the couplers (if using) and the pastry tips. 3. Fill the bag fitted with the #4 tip with the brown icing. Fill each of the other bags with the green and red icing. 4. Using the bag filled with brown icing, draw the trunk of the tree. 5. Using the bag filled with green icing, start at the top and draw the large branches of the tree. Then fill them in with smaller branches. 6. Using the bag filled with red icing, pipe small dots along the branches for the berries. These cookies will look beautiful on your cookie tray this holiday season, whether you're enjoying them with family or giving them away as gifts!
