Gingerbread Christmas Tree
With Christmas just around the corner. Don't Buy It, Bake It! I'm sure you have family and friends who would love to receive a baked gift especially made by you this Christmas. The lovely team at @Darrelllea recently sent me a variety of their delicious products to do some Christmas baking. These Gingerbread Christmas Trees are so cute, fun and easy to make. There is also hidden surprise treats in between the layers of gingerbread cookies when you break the cookie open. Ps. I couldn't bring myself to breaking it open so I took a photo before attaching the top of the trees with royal icing. Hope you get a chance to try out some of Darrell Lea's yummy products in your Christmas baking or you can simply just eat them because they are so delicious.

DeleteExcellent cookie. I used a cookie press to pipe out the dough, much easier.
ReplyDeleteThank you Janet for your lovely feedback, A cookie press press would definitely make it easier.
DeleteDo these freeze and thaw well?
ReplyDeleteHi there, unfortunately I don't freeze many of bakes as there's never any left over but I'm sure the dough will freeze well like other cookie dough. If you do freeze them would love to know how you go.
DeleteIf we don't pipe can they be made as drop cookies?
ReplyDeleteYes, they can be made as drop cookies but they will not have the swirl from the piping tip.
DeletePlease send me a copy of this recipe. It looks delicious. What is the equivalent for grams? Thank you
ReplyDeleteThe recipe is at the bottom of this blog post. ⅔ cups icing sugar = approx 88gms, 2 cups plain flour = approx 300gm however, please note that the equivalent is for Australian baking cups as American or other countries differ slightly. Please do a Google search to help convert into grams. Hope that helps.
DeleteLove this cookie. Flavor is wonderful. Only comment is my piped shapes flattened out a bit so didn't look as attractive as yours. Any suggestions for retaining shape?
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear you love these coffee kisses. Thank you trying the recipe. As for the shape of the cookies, try piping the dough high and creating the swirl on top of the bottom instead of wide. Hope that helps.
DeleteHi.. how long can the cookies last in air tight containers
ReplyDeleteYou can store these cookies up to 4-5 days in air tight container.
