How to Make Easy Christmas Tree Brownies using a Cookie Cutter

By Stacey Freeman Leave a Comment

christmas-tree-brownies-01I love to bake. It is so therapeutic and a really great stress-reliever. The holidays can be so stressful and finding gifts for everyone can feel like such a challenge. That’s why I love to give baked goods as gifts. This year, I created these little Christmas tree brownies and found cute little white boxes, perfect for gift-giving.

This Christmas tree brownies recipe couldn’t be easier. Although I generally prefer homemade baked goods, sometimes the packaged treats work just as well. To make these, first you need a 9×13 pan and a box of brownie mix. I found a family-sized box but you could also just buy two regular sized boxes and mix them together. Once you make the brownies according to package directions, let them cool completely.

christmas-tree-brownies-03To make the Christmas tree brownies, you will need a Christmas tree cookie cutter, or you could also print out a shape and cut them by hand with a knife. Once you cut them out, I suggest you flip them over and add the frosting to the underside of the brownies. There will be less flaking and much easier to frost.

If that’s too much effort for you, a yellow candy would work just as well. (If you’re interested in cake decorating, this set is awesome)

christmas-tree-brownies-05If you want to box up your treats, you can either find little white boxes (I’m getting these boxes next time) at a local craft or baking shop, or you could use clear cellophane to wrap them. I decorated the little Christmas tree brownies with ribbon and a Merry Christmas tag (how cute are these gift tags ?). I’m so happy how they turned out and I’m sure my friends and family will love them as much as I do.

You need:

Family Sized Box of Brownie Mix
Jar of Green Frosting
Jar of White Frosting
Yellow Food Coloring
Knife to Spread Frosting
Star Tip and Piping Bag
Sprinkles
Mini Chocolate Candies
Tree Shaped Cookie Cutter

Directions:

Bake brownies according to package directions in a 9×13 pan. Let cool completely. Meanwhile, prepare your yellow frosting by adding food coloring to the white frosting and placing it in the piping bag with the star tip attachment.

Using the tree-shaped cookie cutter, cut out tree shapes. I was able to get 13 trees from the pan of brownies. Set aside (and eat the scraps!).

Frost each tree with a thin coat of green frosting. Sprinkle with sprinkles and add mini chocolates as ornaments. Add a yellow star to the top of your tree. Set aside to dry. Continue the process until all of your trees are complete.

Enjoy!

It’s back to school time so I had to do this TT It’s back to school time so I had to do this TT high school throwback trend, even if I didn’t quite fit the profile. In HS, I played all the sports, did musicals, band and choir, I was pretty much in as many extracurriculars as I could be. But can we talk about this hair and outfits? I was definitely a late bloomer. My kids said I look scary 🤣. I say better with age 😉.

What were you like in HS?

Beautiful skin requires commitment, not a miracle. Beautiful skin requires commitment, not a miracle. 💕

People often mistake me for much younger than I am, and I often receive compliments about my skin. If you know me, you know I actually get really shy and embarrassed when I receive compliments. But, I am really proud of my skin because I’ve worked hard to keep it looking youthful. 

I thank my dad and my Italian genes for a lot of it, but I’ve also been religiously caring for my skin since I finally broke up with tanning in my mid-20s. I wear giant (and ugly) sun hats every time I go to the beach and I layer on serums and spf every day.

New on poshinprogress.com, I’m sharing my current skincare routine and all of the products I used and treatments I’ve received to keep my skin looking as youthful as I can. And if you wanna see one of my treatments, head over to my stories to see the laser treatment @aestheticrn_christie with @dermfx gave me today. Link in stories or profile!

And by the way, I never wear foundation. In this photo, that is my skin minus some blush and a tiny bit of under eye concealer. Shop all my favorite products here: https://liketk.it/3N8lt

We had the most magical Sunday — the morning at @knottsberryfarm and the afternoon at Hermosa Beach with friends. Today was a day I said to myself, and to my friends, just how blessed we are to live here. There is no better feeling knowing that I finally found home. We missed you, LA.
