Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pink gel food coloring
• Edible silver glitter or decorations
• Pink sanding sugar

Instructions:

In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt

Set aside

In a separate bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until the dough comes together

Divide the dough in half

Add pink gel food coloring to one half and knead until the color is evenly distributed

Shape each half of the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour

Preheat the oven to 350F 175C and line baking sheets with parchment paper

Roll out the pink dough to about 1/4-inch thickness on a floured surface

Use a Christmas tree-shaped cookie cutter to cut out tree shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheets

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely

Once the cookies are completely cooled, sprinkle them with pink sanding sugar and edible silver glitter or decorations for a festive touch
