    1½ tsp baking powder
    ½ tsp salt
    1 c butter or margarine, softened
    2 eggs

    Recipe




    Combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and butter. In a separate bowl, lightly beat egg and ½ c of milk. Mix with flour-butter batter. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Using cookies cutters, cut into Christmas tree shapes. Bake at 375 〫 on an ungreased cookie sheet for about 9 minutes or till light brown on the bottom. Cool on wire rack.

    Place about 1 tsp. raspberry jam on the bottom of 1 cookie, top with another cookie. Repeat with remaining cookies.

    In a small mixing bowl, stir together powdered sugar, vanilla, and enough milk to make a
    glazing consistency. Add in several drops of green food coloring until desired color. Spread top of each cookie with some of the glaze. While icing is still wet, drop Red-Hots on each cookie for decoration. Allow icing to dry.


    (makes about 4 dozen cookies)
