Christmas Tree Cookie Stack

December 17, 2014 By Naomi Robinson | Bakers Royale 11 Comments

This year, with my little guy being older, I’ve roped him into more the holiday baking. To keep him in interested, we taken on a few more crafty cookies, but I’ve kept the decorating – easy, fun and doable – like this stacked Christmas trees.

It’s simple to assemble and provides so much fun for kids. It’s a cinch to make, and looks great. But I think Cole’s favorite part of it he can pick off the cookies one-by-one and eat them.

The fact that it’s edible is the biggest selling point to kids. In the past we’ve made gingerbread houses, and although you could technically eat it, we never did.

But with these cookies, they stay soft and chewy and the glaze on it is a simple poured buttercream. Something I prefer working with it as it as a richer taste than royal icing. Granted its more limiting, but then again, I don’t do elaborate cookies, so it works great for me.

And yes, once it dries, as you can see it stacks one on top of another just fine. To get started click you will need one bag of Betty Crocker’s Gingerbread cookie mix (or you can use the sugar cookies flavor as the original recipe does) and one can of Betty Crocker’s Rich and Creamy Vanilla Frosting melted to the consistency of chocolate.

    Very cool!

    Anyone has a great trick to make luscious cake icing that also happens to be healthy (isn’t just a pound of butter and sugar)? Say little-known flours, agave syrup, etc. ?? Thanks!

    Will you adopt me?? I want to make cookie Christmas trees too! Especially the picking-them-off-to-eat-one-by-one part. That sounds like pure bliss! 🙂 Pinned!

Shrimp and Corn Chowder ~ When things go crazy we Shrimp and Corn Chowder ~ When things go crazy we go simple! Who else feels this? #ad Back to school has been off to a rocky start with mixed up carpool rides to missed days from being sick. Thankfully soups like this come together quickly and easily. All you need are just a handful of fresh ingredients and some pantry staples like @enjoyrealcoco Coconut Milk and @kettleandfire Bone Broth. Both of which are @TetraPakUSA  packaged. This means I can stock my pantry and not worry about rotating the food month-to-month. The aseptic packaging solution helps unopened food have a shelf life of six months or more without the need for refrigeration or preservatives. I’m telling you it’s the little things, like food packaging—something you don’t even think about most days, that ends up being the thing that can have the biggest impact sometimes! #ProtectsWhatsGood

Who’s ready to roll into fall with cozy, autumna Who’s ready to roll into fall with cozy, autumnal picnics? To kickstart the season, the kids and I are headed to the park to enjoy an Apple Spiced Cake and warm sips of Apple Cider sweetened with our favorite pantry staple, @truvia. #ad

Truvia Sweet Complete Sweeteners are zero-calorie and made with plant-based stevia sweetness. Whether you are using the All-Purpose, Brown, or Confectioners Sweetener, they measure cup-for-cup like sugar in your favorite seasonal baked goods! 

Apple Spiced Cake 
Serves 12 

3 cups (14 oz.) self-rising flour
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 
3 eggs
1 cup (6.25 oz.) Truvia Sweet Complete Granulated All-Purpose Sweetener 
1 cup (5.75 oz.) Truvia Sweet Complete Brown Sweetener 
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup vegetable oil 
1 1/2 cups (5.5 oz.) peeled and shredded granny smith apple, about 2 large

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 10-12 cup bundt pan with non-stick spray. Set aside. 

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. Set aside.

In a second large bowl, add the eggs, and beat until combined. Add both the Truvia Sweet Complete Granulated All-Purpose and Brown Sweeteners, whisk until fully incorporated. Pour in buttermilk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil, whisk until combined. 

Fold dry ingredients into the wet until smooth. Add the grated apples and fold until just combined. 

Pour batter in prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes or until a cake tester comes out free of wet batter. Transfer cake to a wire rack and let cool in the bundt pan for 20 minutes. Unmold cake and let cool completely on a wire rack. Before serving, dust with Truvia Sweet Complete Confectioners Sweetener. Enjoy outside with a seasonal beverage!
