-------- ------------ --------------------------------

--Cookie Ingredients--

1 cup Butter -- softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup unsweetend cocoa

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

--Icing Ingredients--

1 1/2 cups white baking chips

2 tablespoons shortening

Decorator sugar

 

Heat oven to 350°F. Combine butter, powdered sugar and vanilla in large mixer

bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy (1 to 2 minutes).

Reduce speed to low; add flour, cocoa and cinnamon. Beat until well mixed (1 to

2 minutes).

 

Roll out dough on lightly floured surface, one-half at a time (keeping remaining

dough refrigerated), to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut with 2 1/2 to 3-inch tree-shaped

cookie cutters. Place 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 10 to

12 minutes or until set. Cool completely.

 

Melt baking chips and shortening in 1-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring

occasionally, until smooth (2 to 3 minutes).

 

Place icing in small resealable plastic food bag. Snip 1/8-inch off one corner.

Pipe icing as desired onto cooled cookies. Decorate as desired. Let stand until

set.
