Cookies "New Year trees"

Preparation

Mix melted butter and sugar and egg until fluffy white mass, add salt and lemon peel. Gradually add sifted flour, knead the dough, form a ball, wrap it in a foil and put in the fridge for 1 hour.
Heat the oven at 180-200℃, cover the pan with a baking paper.
Divide dough into 2-3 parts. At first roll 1 part of the dough, put the rest of the dough in the fridge. With forms cut out the fir trees, put them on the pan, bake for 10-15 min, till readiness.
Cool the ready cookies.



Dissolve a pinch of food dye (green or blue, as you wish) in 1 teaspoon of orange juice. Put in a bowl sugar powder, food dye, adding juice and stirring, till glaze become thick as a sour cream. Add glaze to cookies, decorate with toppings and cool them.



Unfortunately, I didn`t make step by step photos. The process is very quick, glaze cool in a moment, and you should keep pace with decorating.



If you wish you can divide powder in few parts and make it of other colors, or make it white.



You can make holes in cookies and decorate a New Year tree with them.
Enjoy your tea!



Happy New Year!!!
