Vickys Christmas Tree Stack Cookies, Centrepiece Idea

Directions

1. 1
   I'm not going to post a cookie recipe, we all have our favorites but if you need one I have a few listed in my other recipes
2. 2
   Roll out your dough and cut 2 of every sized star that you have
3. 3
   Bake according to your recipe directions and cool on a wire rack
4. 4
   Meanwhile make up some icing with powdered sugar, a little water and some drops of green food colouring.
5. 5
   It needs to be thick enough to not run off your cookies
6. 6
   Ice the cookies all over and place sugar balls at each star point before the icing sets too hard
7. 7
   Start stacking them with the largest stars at the bottom and finishing with the smallest on top.
8. 8
   Twist every alternate star so you get a good effect.
9. 9
   You could colour the top star yellow and stick it upright in the icing of the previous star

    This makes an effective Christmas tree cookie stack for use as table decorations at Christmas dinner and your guests can have a nibble between courses!
