Christmas Tree Cookies are a delightful holiday dessert, known for their unique Christmas tree shape and sweet taste. They are a highlight on any table, whether at family gatherings or friends' gatherings.

👉🏻Ingredients list⚠️

• Butter: 100g

• Powdered Sugar: 50g

• Heavy Cream: 70g

• Low-Gluten Flour: 130g

• Matcha Powder: 5g (adjust according to personal taste)

• Cocoa Powder: 3g (for the trunk)

• White Chocolate: as needed (for decoration)

👉🏻✨DIRECTIONS:

1. Soften the butter at room temperature and add powdered sugar. Mix well with an electric mixer until fluffy.

2. Gradually add heavy cream, mixing well after each addition.

3. Sieve in the low-gluten flour and mix with a spatula until a dough forms.

4. Divide the dough into two parts. Add matcha powder to one part and cocoa powder to the other, mixing well.

5. Transfer the matcha dough and cocoa dough into piping bags. Pipe the trunk (cocoa dough) first, followed by the tree shape (matcha dough).

6. Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 150°C for about 20-25 minutes (adjust time based on cookie thickness).

7. Remove and let cool. Decorate with melted white chocolate.

👉🏻✨TIPS

• Ensure the butter is softened to the point where it can be easily pressed but not melted or over-softened.

• Practice piping on parchment paper first to ensure a neat shape.

• Watch the cookies during baking to avoid overcooking. Cover with aluminum foil in the last few minutes to prevent the matcha color from darkening.
