Yield Makes about 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 batch Basic Vanilla Cookie Dough
Gel food color

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Tint dough with food color as desired. Shape dough into 2 disks, and wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Roll out 1 disk on a lightly floured piece of parchment to a 1/8- to 1/4-inch thickness. Repeat with remaining disk. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes. Using a tree cutter, cut out trees. Using a #12 Ateco pastry tip, cut out ornaments within trees. Working with dough in a contrasting color, use the same rectangular cutter to cut out puzzle pieces that fit within cutouts. Transfer all shapes and pieces to parchment-lined baking sheets. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes. Fit puzzle pieces into cookies. Refrigerate 30 minutes more.
  • Bake until cookies are firm, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer sheets to wire racks; let cool completely.

These cookies were delicious! The frosting was the perfect amount of sweetness and the cookies were perfectly soft.

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

These cookies were a little bit too dry, but they were still good. I think I'll try adding some extra milk next time.

These cookies were a little dry, but they were still good. I think I'll try adding some extra butter next time.

I'm not a huge fan of sugar cookies, but these were actually really good. The frosting is what really makes them.
