These Almond Christmas Tree Cookies are a cherished family recipe passed down from my mom. I’ve made a few tweaks to the ingredients to make them even more delightful. They are incredibly light, with a texture that practically melts in your mouth. Perfect for festive gatherings or as a sweet treat during the holiday season!

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup margarine
  • 1/2 cup butter

  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • Green food coloring (a few drops)
  • Candies or colored sugar for decorating

Instructions:

Step Description
1 Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
2 In a bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Set aside for later.
3 In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the margarine, butter, shortening, and sugar until light and fluffy.
4 Beat in the egg and almond extract until well combined.
5 Gradually blend in the flour mixture until a smooth dough forms.
6 Add a few drops of green food coloring to the dough and mix well until evenly tinted.
7 Prepare your cookie press by filling it with the dough and using the tree-shaped plate.
8 Press the dough onto ungreased cookie sheets, forming tree-shaped cookies.
9 Decorate each cookie with candies or colored sugar to your liking.
10 Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
11 Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
