Make a delectable cookie tree. Be creative by baking cookies in all shapes and sizes. This is going to be one delicious tree!

What You’ll Need

* Non-Pariel rainbow seeds
* Sprinkles
* Cardboard
* Ribbons
* White Icing
* Red Food Color

Instructions

Dress up the cookies with non-pariel rainbow seeds or sprinkles to give the cookies that extra splash of color. To hang the cookies on the tree, roll a small piece of cardboard – the size of a dime – and insert it in the top of the cookie before baking. This will ensure the holes remain open during the baking process. Afterward, insert ribbons into the holes in the cookies and hang them on the tree.

Atop the tree, add a large gingerbread cookie with a Christmas tree light in its center. Before baking this gingerbread cookie, follow the same procedure by inserting a rolled piece of cardboard in the center of the cookie. You can dress up the gingerbread cookie using white icing with red food color.

Create an adorable tree skit by using an apron that has decorative images such as fruit, or yes, even cookies.
