Decorated Christmas Cookie Trees


Finally got to use the xmas tree cutter that my sis bought back from Japan. I really like the chubbiness of this cutter and found it amusing that the land of super slim people actually stock such a 'fat' cookie cutter.


The cookies are made for the little kiddos attending my older girl's playgroup xmas party. Icing the 4o+ cookies and drying them in our humid December weather really takes alot of time! But it was really enjoyable. I think I will probably make more decorated cookies in future, and got to practise my icing skills too!


Had a bit of leftover dough and decided to try the stained glass cookie that I had read from Martha Stewart's site. Looks deceptively easy but it's really not. The smashed up hard candies get super sticky in our hot weather, and ended up sticking on the fingers rather than staying put nicely in the cut out hole. But the end result is quite pretty!
