Ingredients: 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour. ½ teaspoon baking powder. ¼ teaspoon salt. 1 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1 cup granulated sugar. 1 large egg. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Green food coloring. Assorted colorful sprinkles. Powdered sugar, for dusting.
Instructions: Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl with a whisk. On a different large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until they are light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix them in well. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients one at a time until a dough forms. To get the right shade of green, add green food coloring to the dough and mix it well. Cut the dough in half, then roll each half into a disc and wrap it in plastic wrap. Put it in the fridge for at least an hour. Warm the oven up to 350F 175C and put parchment paper on a baking sheet. To make the dough about ¼ inch thick, roll it out on a lightly floured surface while it is still cold. Cut out shapes of trees from the dough using cookie cutters that look like Christmas trees. Cover the baking sheet with foil and put them on it. After the oven is hot, bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden. The cookies should cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before being moved to a wire rack to cool all the way. After the cookies are completely cool, use colorful sprinkles to make them look like Christmas tree ornaments and lights. For a snowy look, sprinkle powdered sugar over the cookies. Share these fun Christmas tree cake cookies with family and friends.
