Simple Toddler Christmas Tree Cookies

Yesterday we had a big baking day and made these great Christmas tree and star cookies. They are really simple and the pictures I have posted were of the cookies decorated by my toddler, not me. The best part about these cookies is that you can be as creative as you like. Change the color of the icing, add chocolate icing, m&m's etc. It's up to you.

We used a very simple cookie recipe, but you can use any recipe you like, as decorations are the main part of the activity. This one is great as your toddler can help, but if you have a tried and true family recipe feel free to use that instead. I'm eating one as I type this so they definitely pass the taste test!
