FULL RECIPE LISTED BELOW
Irish Shortbread Christmas Tree Cookies
INGREDIENTS
FOR THE COOKIES:
3/4 pound butter, at room temperature
1 cup sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
FOR THE ICING:
1 cup confectioners sugar (icing sugar)
water
green and yellow food dye
Red edible pearl decorations
METHOD
1. Preheat the oven to 350oF (180oC).
2. In an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix together the room temperature butter and sugar until they are light and pale in color.
3. Add the vanilla.
4. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour and salt, then add them to the butter-and-sugar mixture. Mix on low speed until the dough starts to come together. Dump onto a surface dusted with flour and shape into a flat disk. Wrap in plastic and chill for 60 minutes.
5. Roll the dough 1/2-inch thick and cut using star cutters. Here is where I bought them: bit.ly/starcutters
6. Place the cookies on an ungreased baking sheet and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until the edges begin to brown lightly. Allow to cool to room temperature.
7. To make your frosting: Mix your confectioners sugar with a few drops of water and stir. Take care to not add too much for it will be really hard to get it thick again.
8. In seperate bowls, add the food dye to reach desired color of green and yellow.
9. Frost each cookie for the trees. Make sure to save some small stars to be dyed yellow to go on top. Leave to dry.
10. Stack the cookies on top of each other binding each layer with a drop of frosting.
11. Once dry, place your pearl decorations on the points of the stars.
12. Finish the tree by placing the star on top!!! Enjoy this cookie :)

I can never get enough of shortbread cookies! And wow, this is quite the cookie creation - too cute! Thanks for the shoutout too!
The Gray Boxwood aw, thanks Kaleb. I had to keep up with the rest of the collab :). Great to be apart of the collab with you. I really liked how your shot your video.

Cake Style delighted you like them. I loved your whole bakes cookie. I am sucker a giant cookie because i like the center the most :)
Haha, thanks lovely. Happy Holidays, and enjoy your stay in Ireland. x
Great idea! I would use colored chocolate instead though because I think chocolate and shortbread tastes awesome!
Sarah Trivedi our are right, they do taste great. If you use white chocolate you can pretend it is snow on the tree and get some nice decorations to compliment it :)
This is lovely! I have always loved shortbread!
Vinh pham Yes, this is my favorite Irish shortbread recipe and the trees are just a bonus. Enjoy!

Ruby Bubblez that's great, really glad you like this video. Happy Holidays!! :)
Ha! I've seen those cute shortbreads in gingerbread video. They are so adorable!!!!!!!
May Moe That is so funny, so far you are the only one who saw that. I was creating a cookie wonderland :)
+GemmaStafford Really?!!!!! Woww That will be totally awesome!!!!!
Believe it or not we have to create a winter wonderland project by making little houses, mountaing, small little people, pine trees and etc. Our grp got 3rd prize in winter wonderland.
May Moe that's fantastic! Next year I'll make little men too :).
Gemma Stafford That will be totally amazing!!!!!☆☆☆♡ I'm looking forward to it
Looks so adorable and very simple too! Great recipe! :) Thank you.
Thanks Shokhsanam Jones , with the trees and gingerbread log cabin I was trying to create an edible Winter wonderland. :)
Oh, wow I never thought about that. I think that will be a great idea! Do you still have all of the things you have made? If so you like to make a quick video of them? I really think that they will look so beautiful. :) You always have great ideas ;)
Shokhsanam Jones I do. I would do a video of them for Facebook but I am in Ireland right now. What it looks like is actually the start of gingerbread house. It is above my sink. :)
Gemma Stafford Oh, you are in Ireland now. :) I guess you having lots of fun with your family now. I look forward to seeing your video if you want to do one!
Gemma, I love these and I'm totally going to make them, great job and keep up the great work, I love your ideas!!😘😘❤️❤️
Lily K Thank you, Lily. The best part is that you can make shortbread anytime of year. Valentine's Day: just make stacked hearts. For Easter, you can make eggs. Or just make round cookies. I hope you enjoy!
you're so creative! these are so cute! and coconut snow? awesome!! :3
These cookies are adorable! Great job Gemma Stafford:-)
Thanks so much Amy Locurto , I put them surrounding my gingerbread house :)
WOW i would never have thought of that you are so creative i have to try this. Love you xxx
Piper Major Thanks so much! Fun, aren't they? I hope you get the chance to make them. :)
Making these today and I'm super excited! Thanks for the idea! :)
Laura Rachel That's great, Laura! Let me know how you get on and enjoy!
Gemma Stafford Well, I'm almost done - got everything frosted and now I'm just waiting to assemble them! I had some hiccups along the way (accidentally left a bit of the dough uncovered so all of it dried out a bit - added more vanilla for moisture and it seemed to be okay; I can't frost nearly as well as you either!) but I think they're going to be great! I know they'll taste good! :D
what a great way of using cookies. so cool a miniature Christmas tree that is edible. :), thank you for sharing it.
Bel Felaz glad you liked them :). I think I'm make an edible nativity next year :)
wow. that would be amazing, so excited for it. :)
Gemma Stafford Merry Christmas Happy Holidays to you and to your family. :)

I love these!! Thank you! x
sandra young Thanks so much, really glad you like this video :)
Hi Gemma. I LOVE this recipe. I have made this three times now and my kids eat the lot within days. I made it again today but for some reason the mixture was too crumbling and wouldn't roll into a ball even after being in a fridge for and half and a half. I must have added to much flour or something. What I did was added some olive oil to the mixture to get it a bit 'wet' and worked it into the dough. I worked but I was worried how they would cook and taste. Fantastic just like my other batches. So if this happens to anyone else add some oil is the trick 😉
+jadefarrell261 Thanks so much for the tip! :)
Looks delicious!
MelissaNguyen Thanks so much, really glad you like this video :)
Its so cute!!! I love it
I tried making these with gingerbread cookies and totally failed :/ thank you for the alternative gemma! Oh and your hair is super pretty is this video :)
So gorgeous and clever!! I love this idea! I bet it'll work well with gingerbread cookies... have any recipes for an old fashion gingerbread cookie??
briana wilson It would work well with gingerbread Briana, here is my recipe, it was the same I used for ginger bread house :) bit.ly/gemsgingerbread

Eliza Ong oh thats funny. I know there is a kit to make them as well. Glad you liked this video :)
Adorable! Happy holidays Gemma!! :)
***** aw thanks Meena, happy Holidays :)
I missed the link where you bought the star cutters. These are so beautiful -- if I can find the cutters I will be making these for Christmas. Thank you.
Century Traveler You can find the star cutters here: bit.ly/starcutters. I hope you can make these for Christmas. If you find you're not able to get one in time, you can always draw a stencil of 5 different star shapes that "fit" within each other and then you can cut them out with a knife. Let me know how you get on and Happy Christmas!
Gemma, these cookies looks delicious and so pretty. You are an amazing baker and a great artist. I love them.
Happy friday in L.A.,
Patricia.
Patricia G.G. aw thanks so much Patricia. I am delighted. I am home now in Ireland, getting ready for Christmas. I hope you are your family have a great christmas :)

Yazzyn 20 you are welcome, thanks for watching :)
Gemma, I'm loving your holiday baking sweets!!!! I just came back from a very long vacation from Sacremento, California, and I wasn't allowed to use RUclips. Reasons... Well, I'm back!!! Merry Christmas Eve!!!! And merry Christmas!! 🎄🎄🎅🎅🎅🎄🎄
zeibma2011 I was wondering where you were. :) I'm happy you're back. You have a lot of catching up to do. Did you see the latest episode with my mum and I baking? (bit.ly/GemsAppleCrumble) Merry Christmas to you! I hope yours was great.
Amazing
Looks great! Just discovered your channel on the what to watch feed! Will check it out now! Xxx
Jessie Stuart Thank you for watching, Jessie! I hope you discovered a few of my other recipes. I can't believe I have almost 50 recipes already on my channel. Have you seen my latest episode with my mum baking Apple Crumble while I'm here in Ireland on holiday (bit.ly/GemsAppleCrumble). I hope you enjoy!
Looks amazingg! I was searching for a.cookie cristmas tree en then i saw you made it! Thank u!!
Xx
JustNikkix JustMyselfx aw that's great. Some recipes use a set you have to buy, but you can even also cut out your stars yourself. :)
I have all the ingredients, I 'm just going to make it now ! I will say if he turned out nice or not. :)
ps , I am going to make a really big one!
JustNikkix JustMyselfx right on! I'll be online for a few hours so let me know. My biggest tip is your butter has to be at room temperature so if it is cold try and soften slightly in the microwave :)
Hmm, i cant believe it turned out so good! And thanks for the tip! Its soooohh big 0-0 Gemma Stafford
JustNikkix JustMyselfx right no!! fantastic. Way to go :)
Gemma can we use normal flour instead of all purpose flour? And Always LOVE YOUR VIDS 😊😊
yup, absolutely you can use normal flour Life of LPS really glad you like my videos :)
Love it and u r soo talented i love your videos plz do how to make cotton cnady ice cream
Weer een lekker en mooi recept
Jade Hewitt Dank je wel voor het kijken naar mijn video :)
Perfect as usual :D I love how u used the stars to create a Christmas tree; using a Christmas tree cutter is almost too mainstream :p
Hanan are those the wilton cutters? I have seen them in the box but i'm not sure how it looks. I try not to do recipes where the viewers have to buy equipment, especially if they only use it once a year :).
exactly!! I usually make my own stencils and it couldn't be easier :D
this is so cool😎and pretty😍omg! Love the ending where you sprinkled the coconut shaving as snow. in gonna try it this year can't wait😆. awesome vid👍👍
Thanks again, Christie! I had a lot of fun making this one.
+Gemma Stafford you're welcome. I will too 😄
Hey Gemma! I love your mug cake and these Xmas cookies.But do you have a video about CUPCAKES? I need the recipe!
Hi Chia yi fei , I am really glad you like my videos :). Thanks so much for watching them. I have a few videos for cupcakes, here is a cupcake bouquet bit.ly/GemmasCupcakeBouquet and bubble baby cupcakes bit.ly/gemmasBabyCupcakes , hope this helps :)

Natalie Ford that's great, Glad you saw this before you do :)
You can actually get kits to make full sized ones as well
Is there a way of making double dutch mug cakes?
i love your accent! and those cookies were awesome! so cute
sakshi grover Thank you, and I'm glad you enjoyed these cookies! They're great for Christmas but you can make them anytime and into any shape. Enjoy!

kaylee queen Thank you, Kaylee! :)
In th case of donouts can i butter the tray instead putting a wax paper
Love it ☺️
Mila Jevremov Thanks so much, really glad you liked this video :)
Hey!
Really tasty
+shweta rungta They're really love. Happy christmas!
will you make butter cream truffle pie please i dont know how to bake them and they sound really fun to bake.
Tina Ashley I'll add it to my list Tina. Truffle pie sounds really good :)
These look amazing😍 also, not sure if you said it or not but how many does this recipe make? x
Livvie Turner Thanks so much :). I actually didn't say but i will write it on the recipe. it is a lot of dough, it will make around 50 cookies. And if you don't want to use all you dough freeze it for another time. I do that with all my cookie and it works great :)
Thankyou I will be sure to make these x
So cool❤️
Abbie Mashel Thanks so much, really glad you like this video :)
this is so creative i hove it!!!!!
kaylee queen Thanks so much, really glad you like this video :)
could you make a video of some cakes you could use if you cant eat chocolate plz? as i am allergic to it and find it hard to find some really nice cakes
Loved your shortbread irish cookie recipe I will be baking some cookies with it. How many cookies does that recipe yield? I bet you there are plenty to munch on and decorate. Merry christmas Gemma Stafford you rock!
It makes loads Claudia Roitman , probably 50 cookies. The best thing is the dough freezes really well so after you make what you want freeze it for the future. The countdown is on to the big day!! Happy Christmas Claudia :)
Thank you so much for your prompt response. Can I use salted butter for the shortbread? Is either salted butter or unsalted margarine what I can find hehe
Claudia Roitman salted butter. is perfect :). Especially for shortbread its important to use butter.
Tnx Gemma 😄😄😄😘😘😘😘
Maaab Gul Thanks so much, really glad you like this video. Happy Holidays!! :)
Gemma Stafford I love this idea. these look fun to make and festive I love it.:}
Mia Vlogz isn't it a fun one Mia. Hope you have a great Holiday season :)
Love your videos;)
hi gemma i just love this recipe , btw in the discription box u said to eus 3/4 th pound of butter did u mean 3/4th cup of butter?
This is a lovely idea!! I want to make shortbread this year and I think I'm going to use your recipe, and make something similar - I don't have so many different star cutters so I think it's going to be 2D Christmas tree cookies :-)
AnnK H Thank you! You can always create your own stencils if you'd like. Just create 5 stars that "fit" within one another so you can build up to the top. Let me know how you get on and Happy Christmas!
gemma Stafford when are you making more videos
sarah Maslin Bosher Next one is next Thursday. Every Thursday at 8.30am Pacific time :)
Gemma Stafford thx merry christmas
Gemma, hope you have a nice holiday at Ireland :)
Anis Abd Mutalib aw thank you very much. I am having a great time. And we filmed here for this Thursday so you will see a little of my home. Hope you have a great Christmas :)
Can you make a cinnamon swirl ice cream with some type of topping like crushed gingerbread or something?
amber anderson That's a really good idea. I'll add it to my list. If you want you can add any additions of cookie etc to the ice cream base. Use the recipe 2cups of ice cream and 1 cup of gingerbread, cookies etc :)
Okay. Thank you
that is cool tree
Nice
Ghost .Roinn Thank you for watching!
Hi Gemma,
In the recipe in the description, you said 3/4 pound butter, I think you meant 3/4 cup?
+Zoe Zhang 3/4 pound is equal to 1 1/2 cups
I love your accent soooooo much :)
Nana Madut Thank you for watching! :)
Hopefully I have time to spare to bake these yummy cookies !
nature.mallow ha, I know. I usually have a list of things I want to bake, especially this time of year. Thanks for watching.
What kind of camera do you use to film? By the way I love your channel
Alexis Colliver Thanks so much, really glad you like it. We use 2 Canon 70D.
Hey...isnt 1 cup sugar too less for 3 n 1/2 cup flour?
Could you make mince pies? I love your videos by the way xx :)
Emma Guenther thanks so much Emma. I was thinking about doing mice pies but it would release on Christmas day and that might be too late. I will still think about it :)
Gemma Stafford ok thanks xx
