Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Red and green food coloring
- Pretzel sticks
- Green royal icing
- Red royal icing
- Edible candy eyes
Instructions:
Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl with a whisk
Put away
Melt the butter and mix it with the sugar in another bowl until the mixture is 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
Split the dough in half
Mix the two halves together and add red and green food coloring, making sure the colors are spread out evenly
Start by heating the oven to 350F 175C
Make a ball out of a small amount of red dough for each apple tree cookie
Spread it out a bit and put it on a baking sheet
Do it again with the green dough
After the oven is hot, bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden
As soon as you take the cookies out of the oven, press a pretzel stick into the top of each green cookie to make a tree trunk
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 have cooled, use green royal icing to pipe leaves around the pretzel trunk on the green part of the cookies
You can pipe apples on the red part of the cookies with red royal icing
Give each apple a fun and cute look by putting two candy eyes on them
Wait for the royal icing to harden before you serve or package it
