🎄🍬 Peppermint Swirl Shortbread Trees Recipe 🍬🎄
These buttery, minty shortbread cookies decorated with festive swirls are the perfect holiday treat to bring cheer to your celebrations!

Ingredients
For the Shortbread Cookies:
2 ¼ cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, softened
½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
½ teaspoon peppermint extract
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
For the Swirl Icing:
3 cups (375 g) powdered sugar
2 tablespoons meringue powder
5–6 tablespoons water
Red and green gel food coloring
Edible glitter or gold stars (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Shortbread Cookies
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Make the Dough:

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Mix in the peppermint and vanilla extracts until well combined.
Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Roll and Cut:

Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about ¼ inch (6 mm).
Use a Christmas tree-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the cookies and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake:

Bake the cookies for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden.
Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before decorating.
Step 2: Prepare the Swirl Icing
Make the Icing Base:

In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, meringue powder, and water until smooth. The icing should be thick enough to hold its shape but thin enough to spread easily.
Color the Icing:

Divide the icing into three bowls. Keep one portion white, tint the second portion red, and the third green using gel food coloring. Mix well until the colors are vibrant.
Step 3: Decorate the Cookies
Base Layer:

Pipe or spread a thin layer of white icing over each cookie, covering the entire surface.
Create the Swirls:

Add small lines or dots of red and green icing on top of the wet white icing.
Use a toothpick or skewer to drag through the colors to create beautiful swirl patterns.
Add Sparkle:

Place a gold star sprinkle at the tip of each tree.
Sprinkle edible glitter lightly over the cookies for a festive sparkle.
Dry:

Allow the decorated cookies to dry at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or until the icing is fully set.
Pro Tips:
Perfect Swirls: Use a piping bag for precise lines of red and green icing.
Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Custom Touches: Try adding crushed candy canes or mini sprinkles for extra holiday flair.
🎄 Serve and Enjoy!
These Peppermint Swirl Shortbread Trees are not just delicious but also a visual delight. Perfect for cookie swaps, holiday parties, or gifting to loved ones! 🍪✨

Ingredients:

For the Macaron Shells:

🍚 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
🍥 1 cup almond flour
🍳 3 large egg whites (room temperature)
🍯 1/4 cup granulated sugar
🌿 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (or peppermint extract for a minty twist)
🍭 Red and green food coloring (optional)
For the Filling:

🍫 1/2 cup butter (softened)
🍬 1 cup powdered sugar
🍫 2 tbsp cocoa powder (or white chocolate for a white filling)
🍯 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
Prepare the Macaron Shells:

Sift the powdered sugar and almond flour together to remove any lumps.
Whip the egg whites in a clean, dry bowl using an electric mixer until they form soft peaks.
Gradually add granulated sugar to the egg whites while continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
Fold in the sifted almond flour and powdered sugar mixture carefully using a rubber spatula. The batter should flow smoothly and make a "ribbon" when dropped from the spatula.
Add food coloring if desired to create festive red and green shells. Gently fold in until the color is evenly distributed.
Pipe the Macaron Shells:

Prepare a piping bag with a round tip and fill it with the macaron batter.
Pipe circles (about 1.5 inches in diameter) onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Tap the baking sheet on the counter to release any air bubbles and help the macaron shells settle.
Let them rest for 30 minutes to 1 hour, until they form a skin that doesn't stick to your finger when touched.
Bake the Macarons:

Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
Bake the macarons for 12-15 minutes, or until they have a smooth, shiny surface and can be gently lifted off the parchment paper.
Cool the macarons completely on a wire rack before removing them from the sheet.
Make the Filling:

Beat the softened butter with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add powdered sugar, cocoa powder (or white chocolate), and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Pipe or spread the filling onto the flat side of one macaron shell and sandwich it with another shell.
Decorate and Serve:

Optionally, decorate your macarons with sprinkles, edible glitter, or a dusting of powdered sugar for an extra festive touch!
Let the macarons sit for 24 hours for the best flavor and texture, then enjoy!
