Cost: Recipe $5.73 / Serving $0.48
Ingredients
- 1 tube refrigerated sugar cookie dough ($3.87)
Cream Cheese Frosting
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened ($0.93)
- ½ cup powdered sugar ($0.18)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ($0.03)
- 2 tablespoons lime gelatin mix, dry ($0.18)
- 1 cup (8 ounces) whipped topping, thawed ($0.54)
Optional Fruit Toppings
- Peeled orange wedges
- Fresh raspberries
- Fresh blackberries
- Fresh blueberries
- Sliced strawberries
- Sliced bananas
- Sliced kiwi
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Shape the cookie. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the cookie dough to about ¼-inch thickness. Cut into a Christmas tree shape, re-rolling scraps as needed. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and gently round sharp edges to prevent overbrowning.
- Bake. Bake for about 15 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and set. The center may appear slightly underbaked. Allow the cookie to cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Make the frosting. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and lime gelatin mix until smooth. Fold in the whipped topping until fully combined.
- Frost the cookie. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cookie, or pipe it on, leaving a small border around the edge.
- Decorate and serve. Decorate with fresh fruit as desired. Slice, serve, and enjoy.
Notes
- Dough choice. Store-bought cookie dough keeps this recipe quick and easy, but homemade sugar cookie dough also works.
- Frosting color. Lime gelatin adds color and flavor. Food coloring can be used instead if preferred.
- Shaping tips. Start shaping from the bottom of the tree and work upward for a more balanced look. Keep dough thickness at about ¼ inch.
- Serving and storage. Assemble shortly before serving to prevent sogginess. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
