Here's what you'll need to make your edible trees:
- Sugar cookies
- Icing
- Green food coloring
- Sugar cones (You can use waffle cones, but they have a curved bottom which is hard to lay flat on the sugar cookie. Sugar cones are tree shaped, but have completely flat bottoms.
- Small candies for decorating (M&M's, sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, spice drops, whatever your little heart desires...)
1. Dye the icing green using food coloring and mix it up really well.
2. Use the frosting as glue and frost the sugar cookie for a base and put the cone on top upside down.
3. Frost the whole cone with icing.
4. Decorate any way you wish.
5. Eat and enjoy!
Warning: This can get pretty messy! Here's the proof:

Hi Kim,
ReplyDeleteI am getting ready to do a post on my blog Detroit Mommies and I used to have pics of my sugar cone Christmas trees. I was wondering if I could have permission to use yours in my post. My girls are making them but not in time for my post. Please email me at lindseyclair@mail.com to let me know either way. I would appreciate it, thanks so much.
