Instructions
Frosting
- Beat the butter until smooth and creamy. Add half of the powdered sugar and mix until smooth. Add vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons milk, mix until smooth. Add the remaining powdered sugar, mix until the frosting is smooth and fluffy. Add green gel icing color and mix. Tint to get the shade of green you like.
Assemble the Christmas Trees
- Place one size of each cookie on a work surface. Fit a piping bag with a medium sized star tip (Wilton 32 works nice); fill bag with frosting and twist to secure top and push frosting to the tip.
- On the largest cookie, pipe a swirl of frosting bringing it from the center to just a little in from the outside edge; top with the middle size cookie, and add a swirl of frosting. Top with the smallest cookie, then pipe a swirl of icing on it and top with one of the yellow star sprinkles. Decorate the tree with the red and white sugar pearls. A pair of tweezers can help make it easier to place the sugar pearls right where you want them. Assemble the rest of the Christmas Tree Cookies; refrigerate until ready to serve.
