For a richer flavor, use European-style butter. Chilling the dough is crucial for preventing the cookies from spreading during baking. If the dough becomes too sticky to work with, add a little more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time. Get creative with your decorations! Use different colors of frosting, edible glitter, or even small candies to make your Christmas trees unique. Store the decorated cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
