Servings: 4 trees
Calories: 424kcal
Ingredients
- 4 sugar cones
- 1½ cups green icing
- 4 sugar cookies
- 4 candy star sprinkles
- 2 tablespoons white sugar sprinkles
- Assortment of other sprinkles and decorations such as m&ms, nonpareils, and sprinkles
- Assorted candy for filling such as peppermints, M&Ms, and Skittles
Instructions
- Fill each sugar cone with assorted candy.
- Use green icing to ice the bottom edge of the sugar cone and then place a sugar cookie, bottom side up, over the icing. Press down gently being careful not to break the cookie. Set them in a refrigerator for about 5 minutes to allow the icing to harden before continuing.
- To ice a smooth tree, place a spot of icing on the cone and smooth it out in small sections the full length of the tree. As you turn the tree to ice all sides, use the cookie to gently hold the tree without getting icing on your hands. Be careful not the hold too tight or the cookie may crack.
- To ice a spikey tree, place your green icing into a piping bag or a zip lock bag with a 6-point tip attached. Start at the bottom of the tree and move upward, squeeze a small amount of icing out onto the sugar cone and then lift the 6-point tip straight up off of the spot of icing. Continue this pattern until the whole tree is covered.
- Decorate your trees using assorted candies and sprinkles and then chill them in your refrigerator for about 10 minutes or until firm.
- Keep chilled until ready to enjoy.
