Jump to RecipeStep 1: 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.
Step 2: Slowly add in the flour, mixing until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
Step 3: Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Step 4: Use the cookie cutters to cut out different shapes, making sure to punch a hole near the top of each one for the ribbon to go through.
Step 5: Place the cutouts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Step 6: Let the decorations cool completely before decorating.
Now comes the fun part – decorating your edible Christmas tree decorations! Let your creativity shine as you use colorful icing, sprinkles, and edible glitter to decorate your baked cutouts. You can even add a personal touch by writing names or messages on the decorations.
Once you're happy with how your decorations look, let them dry completely before stringing a ribbon or string through the hole and tying it into a loop. Your decorations are now ready to be hung on the Christmas tree!
To make your decorations even more festive, you can add food coloring to the dough before rolling it out for a pop of color. You can also experiment with different flavors by adding spices like cinnamon or ginger to the dough.
These edible Christmas tree decorations are not only great for decorating your own tree, but they also make for a thoughtful and delicious gift for friends and family.
So this holiday season, add a tasty twist to your Christmas tree with these edible Christmas tree decorations. Your tree will be the talk of the town and your loved ones will be delighted with this unique and tasty treat. Happy decorating!
