Ingredients
- 6 Store bought ice cream cones
- 6 Store bought sugar cookies
- 1 16-ounce can vanilla frosting
- Green Food Coloring
- Assortment of candies and Christmas-colored sprinkles
Instructions
- Add vanilla frosting to a medium-sized bowl. Mix drops of green food coloring into frosting until you have your desired green color.
- Using an offset spatula or butter knife, spread green frosting on the sugar cone. Including around the bottom edge.
- Place the sugar cone onto a round sugar cookie.* Press down, and be careful not to break the cookie or sugar cone. Allow to set for 10 minutes or freeze overnight.
- Spread green frosting onto the cone. Once the cone is covered in green frosting, have fun decorating your tree using sprinkles, M&Ms, or other edible decorations.
- Top each tree with a star sprinkle, if desired.
Notes
*Optional - before adhering the base to the cone, fill the cones with candy treats - m&m's, gumdrops, etc. Who wouldn't love that?
These little Christmas trees are best the day you make them, but they'll keep nicely for up to 5 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If you're making them ahead for a holiday party, decorate them a day or two in advance and they'll be ready to steal the show.
They can also sit out on your dessert table for several hours while everyone admires their creations. I don't recommend leaving them out overnight, though. The cones lose their crispness, and they're just not nearly as tasty the next day.
