Cookie Christmas tree stand

I was invited to a cookie exchange party and was trying to figure out a way to serve my cookies in an original way and then I found this darling silver Christmas card stand In a thrift store and paid $2.00 or $3.00 dollars for it and a “light bulb” idea popped into my head…cookie Christmas Tree!

You can’t tell in this photo but it is silver and badly tarnished…someday I will polish it up….not!

Here is the recipe:

1 1/2 C (3 sticks butter)

2 C sugar

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 C Molases

4 1/2 Cups flour

2 tsp baking soda

3/4 tsp slt

1/2 tsp baking powder

2 tsp cinnamon

1 1/2 tsp ground ginger

In bowl cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, vanilla, and molasses. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.

Add the rest o the dry ingredient. Mix until combined well. Spoon onto ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake at 350 degree for 10-12 minutes

When cool dip cookies haf way in melted white chocolate andplace on wax paper to cool.

After my daughter made the cookies, I put them in cello bags and tied them with red, white and green ribbon and hung the loop of each bow on the card holders all around the tree.
