This is my Grandmas. She is making Christmas Tree cookies. Grandmas are great like that. Especially mine.
Christmas Tree Cookies
1/2 c. butter, softened
1/2 c. sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
Mix all together.
Sift together:
1 1/2 c. flour
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
Beat into the butter mix.
Remove 1/3 of the dough and set aside. Tint the remaining dough green. On wax paper shape into a triangle. Roll the while dough out and wrap around the green trees dough.
Chill 2 hours.
Slice and place on a un-greased baking sheet. Place a yellow star sprinkle on the top and colored sprinkle "lights" on the tree.
Bake at 375 until just before the edges turn golden, about 8 - 10 minutes.
You can also me shaped and tinted into anything you want. This makes them great for other Holidays too. A few years ago I added a little peppermint extract and then dyed half of it red. I shaped them into starlight mints. Just make sure you don't store them in the same container as the unflavored ones.
