Just good ol fashioned cookie cutters sized so that you can stack the cookies to make a Christmas tree. Clear, concise directions; a variety of recipes for various types of trees; suggestions for decorating. Wish I'd had these years ago. <br /> Rating: 5 / 5 Nothing high tech here.

Marchese Sun, 15 Nov 2009 09:08:06 +0000 http://www.christmashotgifts.net/wilton-cookie-tree-cutter-kit/#comment-152 The dough recipe was easy to follow, cutting and baking the cookies was easy enough. I would definitely line my pans with parchment next time to save on clean up. Allow a good portion of your day for this project, it is time consuming! <br /> <br />Making the frosting is simple enough. You don't need to double the recipe like they suggest, I had plenty to frost each cookie and to "glue" the tree together and stick little candy ornaments on it; I still had some leftover. I colored my frosting green with food coloring. I needed much more coloring than I expected to get the desired color. It looked pretty though. I liked that I could put the frosting aside for a few hours and warm it up later to loosen it and finish my project later in the day. <br /> <br />The end result was an adorable tree that dressed up our holiday table. I got many compliments. <br /> <br />Bear in mind, I am no Betty Crocker--I'm a bit of a baking klutz and I was able to pull this off. I can cook well but my work is rarely pretty--my cakes crack, my pies are lopsided...The fact that I made this and it looked cute says something about the ease of this project. <br /> <br />I haven't tried it with jello, chocolate or rice krispy treats yet...maybe next year! <br /> <br /> Rating: 4 / 5 The dough recipe was easy to follow, cutting and baking the cookies was easy enough.

Stathem Sun, 15 Nov 2009 06:15:32 +0000 http://www.christmashotgifts.net/wilton-cookie-tree-cutter-kit/#comment-151 I fell in love with this product about 11 years ago. I was 17 and my boyfreind's mother was in the process of stacking the cookies to make the tree. She now has been my mother-n-law for 10 years and we make the cookie tree at Christmas every year. This year I finally bought my own cookie cutter set to make the playful tree whenever we want. What a fun way to start a family tradition. Fun for adults and kids alike.

The sugar cookie recipie is delicious. However, in the instructions it says you will need 2 batches, and I have made the tree 3 times with only one batch of dough, with enough left over to make some cookies for snacking. Same thing for the easy pour frosting, it says you will need 2 batches but I coated all the stars with just one batch of pourable frosting and one batch of buttercream (with a bit of corn syrup so it would set up firm and hold the shape). Overall it takes me about 1 1/2 hours actively working to make a georgious tree that people need convincing to eat.
