Ingredients

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 375°F. Line 15x10x1-inch pan with foil.
  • 2
    In medium bowl, stir cookie mix, butter and egg until soft dough forms. With moistened fingers, press dough in bottom of pan.
  • 3
    Bake 10 to 14 minutes or until light golden brown; cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • 4
    Cut tree shape from baked cookie. If you need help, create a tree template. (See link below for template.) Place the template on the baked cookie, and cut around it using a sharp knife.
  • 5
    Stir food color into frosting as desired. Decorate cookie tree with frosting and candies.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Chocolate chip cookie mix can be substituted for the sugar cookie mix. Stir some chopped nuts into the dough for an indulgent treat.
  • tip 2
    You can make the cutout cookie the day before the fun begins! Store cookie covered with plastic wrap or foil.
  • tip 3
    Try a variety of sugared gum drops, candy-coated sunflower nuts and cinnamon candies for fun designs and colors.
  • tip 4
    Cut shapes out of the scrap cookie; a star to decorate the top of the tree or squares and rectangles to make gifts to go under the tree.
