Tips and Tricks:

• To make sure your cookies hold their shape, chill the dough in the fridge for at least 2 hours before rolling and cutting them.
• If you don't have a Christmas tree cookie cutter, you can use any other holiday-themed cookie cutter or even a knife to cut out the desired shape.
• For an extra festive touch, add a few drops of green food coloring to the dough before chilling it in the fridge.
• You can also use different colored icings and sprinkles to decorate your cookies, or even pipe on some delicate designs.
