Parchment Paper With Stay Flat Dispensing
Ingredients
Directions
Heat oven to 325F and place rack in center.
Line two baking sheets with Reynolds® Parchment Paper. On a floured work surface, using a floured rolling pin, roll out dough to about 1/8 inch thick, occasionally running a spatula under dough to keep from sticking to work surface.
Using 1-1/4-, 1-3/4-, 2-1/2- and 3-inch star cookie cutters, cut out ten 1-1/4-inch and 20 of each of the other sizes; transfer to prepared sheets.
Bake, one sheet at a time, until just golden around edges, 8 to 10 minutes.
Transfer sheets to a wire rack and let cool completely. Transfer icing to a decorating bag fitted with a small plain. Secure end of bag with a rubber band, squeezing out air. (When not using, place, tip side down, in a tall glass with a damp paper towel in bottom so icing doesn't harden in tip.)
Working with one cookie at a time, pipe icing around rim of each star and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Let stand until set, about 30 minutes.
For each tree, using a dab of icing to adhere, stack 2 large, 2 medium, 2 small and 1 tiny star; top with a gumdrop.
