Kids will love decorating these cookies as much as they do the real tree. Once they're made, keep a stash of them in the freezer to satisfy that holiday sweet tooth whenever it hits. The foundation of this recipe is the versatile dough that can be customized to create chocolate, colored, striped, or marbleized cookies.
Ingredients
- Colored cookie dough
- Christmas tree cookie cutter
- Candy "ornaments"
- Frosting
- Half-gallon block of ice cream
Instructions
Roll out the dough to 1/4-inch thickness between two pieces of waxed paper. Use the cookie cutter to cut out the trees. Bake as directed.
Once cooled, attach the candy with icing to half the trees. Cut a 1/2-inch-thick slice off the ice-cream block and cut out ice-cream trees with the cookie cutter.
Sandwich the ice-cream trees between the cookies, wrap in plastic bags, and freeze. Makes 24 Treewiches.
