Directions
1.
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Roll out dough and use an assortment of star cutters to cut various stars. For hollow stars, cut out the centers from some large stars using small cutters. Place the stars on baking sheets and bake until just golden, about 12 min for large stars, 10 min for small stars. Cool completely.
2.
Color 1/2 cup Royal Icing each green, light green and chartreuse. Place in pastry bags with tips. Fill another pastry bag with 1/2 cup white icing. Ice stars and decorate with crystal sugar as desired. Allow decorated cookies to set completely, about 3 hrs.
3.
Assemble the tree on a large serving platter; layer the stars into a triangle. Serve any extra stars alongside. Makes 1 tree, about 36 cookies.
