Jump to RecipeTo begin, preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Next, add a few drops of green food coloring to the dough and mix until the desired color is achieved.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness. Use a Christmas tree cookie cutter to cut out your cookies and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Once the cookies are cooled, it's time to decorate! Use assorted sprinkles and decorations to create your own unique Christmas tree butter cookies. You can even add a drizzle of melted chocolate for an extra touch of sweetness.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
