Easy Marbled Christmas Tree Sugar Cookies | CHELSWEETS

I rarely step outside of the realm of cakes, but my office was hosting a cookie challenge and I couldn’t resist whipping something up! This look is actually super easy to make, and this technique is great for anyone who is new to using royal icing (like me!). This was actually my first time making royal icing!! There is no baking blog I trust more than Sally’s Baking Addiction (every recipe she shares is MAGIC!), so I used her sugar cookie recipe as the base for these. Just like always, the recipe delivered! The cookies were soft, chewy, and most importantly they kept their shape! They didn’t spread at all, and had nice clean edges. I dipped these cookies into royal icing (made with meringue powder) to get this beautiful marbled look. The full recipe and instructions can be found here:
