Another Christmas tradition i'm sure a lot of people bake this wonderful time of year are gingerbread cookies. Fills the kitchen with spicy, cosy, warm, christmas sweetness.
I received this Wilton Cookie Tree kit for christmas last year so i've been waiting awhile to try and make this gingerbread tree which I thought, all though a little time consuming, was very easy to do.
The kit comes with the star shape cutters in graduated sizes, two icing tips- one round and one star, two piping bags and recipes to make all kinds of cookie trees, you can even make a gelatine one if you wanted.
I made two batches of Grandma's Gingerbread Cookies. You can find the recipe on the Wilton website. here is the link:

 |
| You can make a bigger tree by adding two stars of each size, I made a smaller version and just used one of each size star |
 |
| I added some silver dragees, snowflake sprinkles and a fondant star |
