Time 3h40m

Yield 32

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pouch (17.5 oz) Betty Crocker™ sugar cookie mix
Flour, butter and egg called for on cookie mix pouch for cutout cookies
1 1/4 cups Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy vanilla frosting (from 16-oz container)
1/8 teaspoon Betty Crocker™ blue gel food color
M&M's® candy-coated milk chocolate candies (assorted colors), if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°F. In medium bowl, stir cookie mix, flour, melted butter and egg until soft dough forms.
  • On floured surface, roll dough 1/4 inch thick. Cut with 3-inch tree-shaped cookie cutter; place cutouts 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
  • Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 20 minutes.
  • In large microwavable bowl, stir 1 1/4 cups frosting and the food color until blended. Microwave uncovered 25 to 30 seconds or until warmed and thinner consistency. Dip top side of each cookie into glaze, letting excess drip off. Place cookie right side up on cooling rack placed over cookie sheet or waxed paper. Rewarm frosting mixture in microwave to maintain dipping consistency, if needed. If desired, place 1 chocolate candy on top of each tree. Let stand about 2 hours or until set. Store covered in airtight container at room temperature with waxed paper between layers.

I'm not a big fan of royal icing, so I used a different type of frosting on these cookies. They turned out great.

I made these cookies gluten-free by using gluten-free flour. They turned out just as good as the regular cookies.
