Christmas tree cookies

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 250 g butter, soft
• 250 g cane sugar
• 3 small eggs
• 1 packet of baking powder
• 1 packet of vanilla sugar
• 750 g flour
• 125 g powdered sugar
• 1 tbsp spirulina powder
• 1 tsp water
• some gold powder or pearls for decoration

Instructions

Working time approx. 1 hour; Cooking/baking time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 10 minutes

Beat the sugar, vanilla sugar, and softened butter until fluffy. Gradually add the eggs. Add the flour and baking powder a spoonful at a time and knead into a dough. Shape the dough into a ball and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Then roll out to a thickness of about 2 cm and cut out Christmas trees. Place them, spacing them apart, on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C (convection oven) for about 10 minutes on the middle rack. Allow the cookies to cool. In the meantime, prepare the icing. In a small bowl, mix the icing sugar, spirulina powder, or green food coloring with a little water (drop by drop). Add a dash of rum or almond flavoring for extra flavor. Brush the icing onto the cookies. Decorate with gold powder or pearls while still wet.
