Creating the Dough
To make these adorable Christmas tree dough balls, you will need a few simple ingredients: flour, sugar, salt, butter, vanilla extract, and eggs.

Once the dough is well combined, cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Adding a Festive Twist
While the dough is chilling, you can add a festive twist to the recipe by incorporating some holiday flavors. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are all great options that will give your dough a warm and cozy taste. You can also add in some food coloring to create a green dough for a more traditional Christmas tree look.
Shaping the Dough
After the dough has chilled, it's time to shape it into Christmas trees. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness. Use a Christmas tree-shaped cookie cutter to cut out your dough, then place the trees on a lined baking sheet. Before baking, use a knife to carefully make small slits in the dough to create the branches of the tree.
Baking and Decorating
Bake the dough trees in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Once they are done, let them cool completely before decorating. You can use icing, sprinkles, or edible glitter to add some festive flair to your Christmas trees. Let your creativity shine as you decorate each tree with different colors and designs.
