Gingerbread Christmas Tree Cookies
As Christmas is fast approaching, why not put up the Christmas Tree and decorate it together with your family. Why not also make Christmas Tree Cookies with your kids during the holidays? I’m sure your kids will have a lot of fun arranging and stacking up the star-shaped cookies from big to small. They can also make some 3D Christmas Tree with the remaining dough. Frost them with a little icing and stick the M&M chocolate candy as decoration. This will certainly brighten up the day!

Thanks
Phoebii
Hi Phoebii,
I got the star cookie cutter from Daiso.
These cookies are a work of art! That's a nice change from the usual gingerbread house 🙂
Wow, beautiful "decorations"! And edible too! You are very creative!
Wow! that is so impressive and so pretty! Really awesome decoration on your part Ann!:)
So very festive and beautiful!
Very beautiful and festive, Ann!

我也想有棵圣诞树呢！^^
珊，我还在算要做几颗树才够分呢。。。呵呵。
This is simply gorgeous! Very cute idea and every child would be impressed (adults too)
Pretty delicious cookies , Ann ! Very creative and such a great way to get kids involve in baking 🙂
May I know how to make the royal icing?every time I made the royal icing was not very good,especially while adding in the coloring,it couldnt mix well and runny.How to keep the royal icing for the next day?
Hi Elaine, I didn't make the royal icing myself because only a small amount of it needed. I just bought it from the ingredients store.
I think you need to beat the egg white till very stiff. You may check on Cake Journal's site. Louise always generously shared her bakes and decoration tips.
Thanks!!
Ann,
This is so lovely! I like both tree.
Can I also have a tree from you??… Heehee
Have a wonderful weekend:)
mui..^^
MuiMui, hahaa… yes I'm still counting how many trees I've to make 🙂
Thanks for sharing such creative & pretty work of yours. It's perfect for the coming celebration. Hope you're going to have a wonderful holiday season. Guess…more shopping to do huh! hehe…. Take care.

Hi Kristy, I didn't buy a lot of presents this year but bake more cakes to giveaway.
Merry X'mas to you and your family.
This is simply awesome, Ann! I'm sure the kids will love this.
Yes, the kids have so much fun making these star cookies in the kitchen.
The trees are so adorable! They will be very cute to be on the christmas dinner table! Going to try making this one day. Love them!
Thank you for your compliment 🙂

Ann Ann~~
Very good x'mas feel here~~~

Ann your Christmas tree is so gorgeous! Would make a lovely tablepiece too 🙂
Hi Ann,
What a creative idea of the xmas tree, I would just keep it as it is, would be reluctant to eat it :o)
Stephani, you can this for at least two weeks 🙂
So cute and so festive looking! These cookies are decorations by themselves, so sayang to eat 🙂
Yes it's brightened me! Beautiful bake!
Wow they look awesome dear. Beautifully done
太有心思了。而且充满了圣诞节气氛呢~ 很棒。。很棒。。。。。
谢谢你哦！

好漂亮的圣诞树饼干，可以送我一颗吗？
哈哈。。。好多朋友都要这颗圣诞树饼干*-* 好吧，那我就一口气多种几颗送给大家 😀
Ann, very nice Christmas tree cookies! Can I exchange one with my croissant?? hehe…
sure, croissant is also one of my favourite!
Hi Ann! I like the star-stacked x'mas tree! How do you make the tree topper stay upright? Just the royal icing alone?
Yes, just tip a little royal icing at the end of the star and it will dry up quickly.
Hi Ann, wow… love your Christmas tree cookies. Sooo cute and pretty, you're very creative.
Have a nice week ahead.
没有那些cookie cutter， 是不是可以有借口要你请我吃一颗‘圣诞树’？哈哈哈！
当然可以啊！几时要来拿？我要包装美美送给你 🙂
Ann,
我可以用鸡腿和你换一颗圣诞树饼干吗，嘻嘻。。
哈哈。。。你来对了！我最喜欢吃鸡腿了，我要吃两只才够的哦！不要等一下你老公问你怎么鸡腿会跑到Ann的家！:D
Ann， 好美的cookie圣诞树。这个树我也想做了两年哈哈。。。但是今年还是没做。这个是个很好centre piece 的idea。我这个礼拜就收工了，这个project留明年了。我做了cookie ornament 你是餐桌的centre piece，很配。
