CHRISTMAS TREE SANDWICHES

Plain peanut butter and jelly sandwiches take on new shape in the hands of subscriber Flo Burtnett of Gage, Oklahoma! To make her fun versions, she cut frozen bread slices with a tree-shaped cookie cutter, poked holes into one slice so the jelly would show through, then put together the sandwiches. "By the time you've finished, the bread's thawed and ready for eating," she notes.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield 2 Dozen

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 cup confectioners' or granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
Raspberry or strawberry jam

Steps:

  • Butter an 8 1/2-inch cake or springform pan; set aside. Sift together flour and salt into a small bowl; set aside. Place butter in bowl of electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment. Cream until fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add sugar, and continue to beat until very light in color and fluffy, occasionally scraping down the sides of the bowl with a spatula, about 2 minutes more. Add vanilla, if using. Add flour mixture, and combine on low speed, scraping with spatula if necessary, until flour is just incorporated and dough sticks together when squeezed with fingers.
  • Pat dough into prepared pan. If rolling out dough to cut into shapes, form into a flat disk; wrap in plastic. Chill until firm, at least 1 hour.
  • Roll basic dough out on a lightly floured surface 1/4 inch thick. Cut into 24 tree shapes with 3-inch cutter. Cut holes in half of the trees with a 1/4-inch round pastry tip or straw; chill. Heat oven to 325 degrees. Bake until firm and just starting to color, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool completely before sandwiching together with raspberry or strawberry jam.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bread. For mini sandwiches that hold their shape well, use a sturdy bread such as white bread, wheat bread, or rye bread. Avoid using soft breads like sourdough or focaccia, as they may fall apart when you cut them.
  • Cut the bread evenly. To ensure that your mini sandwiches are all the same size, use a sharp knife to cut the bread into even slices. If you're making a lot of sandwiches, you can use a bread slicer to save time.
  • Spread the fillings evenly. When spreading the fillings on the bread, be sure to do it evenly so that each sandwich has the same amount of filling. This will help to ensure that all of your sandwiches taste the same.
  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients you use, the better your mini sandwiches will taste. If possible, use fresh vegetables, fruits, and herbs.
  • Chill the sandwiches before serving. Chilling the sandwiches before serving helps to firm them up and make them easier to eat. You can chill the sandwiches for up to 2 hours before serving.

Conclusion:

Mini Christmas tree sandwiches are a fun and festive way to celebrate the holiday season. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little creativity, you can create mini sandwiches that are both delicious and visually appealing. So get creative and have fun making these adorable treats!
