Ingredients
1/4
cup all-purpose flour
1/4
cup butter, softened
1
tablespoon green crème de menthe liqueur or crème de menthe syrup
2
drops green food color
Decorating bag fitted with small writing tip
1
roll (18 oz) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
Candy sprinkles or miniature candy-coated chocolate baking bits
Preparation
Heat oven to 350°F. In small bowl, mix green dough ingredients until well blended. Place dough in decorating bag fitted with small writing tip; set aside.
Work with half of dough at a time; keep remaining dough refrigerated. On lightly floured work surface, roll out dough with rolling pin to 1/4-inch thickness. (DO NOT EAT RAW COOKIE DOUGH AFTER ROLLING OUT ON FLOURED SURFACE.) Cut with 2 1/2- to 3 1/2-inch tree-shaped cookie cutter; place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
Squeeze decorating bag to pipe green dough around outer edge of each tree cookie; pipe dots randomly in center. Top each dot with candy sprinkle.
Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets.
