To prepare the sugar glaze:

  • Pasteurized milk – 2 tbsp. spoons,
  • Powdered sugar – 150 grams,
  • Sugar syrup – 1 tbsp. spoon.

Cooking process:

In the step-by-step photo recipe, shortbread dough is kneaded and prepared.

We need softened butter or margarine. If you forgot to take the butter out of the refrigerator in advance, then chop it into cubes and literally put it in the microwave for a few seconds. You should not completely melt it, let it be soft, but not liquid.

Add granulated sugar to softened butter (margarine) and mix everything. Beat in the eggs, which also need to be removed from the refrigerator in advance. Mix everything thoroughly until smooth.

Sift wheat flour (3 cups) into a separate bowl. Add baking powder and vanilla sugar. Stir. Add the dry mixture to the liquid base and begin kneading the dough. We have the fourth glass of flour as a spare, because... Everyone's flour is different, so some may not need it. If necessary, add more flour to the dough until it stops sticking to your hands.

Sprinkle the table with flour and roll out the dough into a thin layer, no more than 0.7 cm thick. Sprinkle the dough layer with granulated sugar (2 tablespoons). Then lightly roll the dough again with the rolling pin, pressing the sugar crystals into the dough. Now let's go look for round cookie cutters. We will need shapes of different diameters so that the tree looks like a real one, i.e. began with a large plate and ended with a cookie of a smaller diameter. Approximately 8 - 10 forms will be required. With the help of which you cut out circles from the dough.

Cover a baking sheet with paper and carefully transfer the cut-out pieces onto it. Place the baking sheet with cookies in the oven, bake at 180 degrees until the cookies begin to brown.


Meanwhile, prepare the icing to decorate and seal the cookies. To do this, mix powdered sugar and milk in a small container and mix thoroughly until smooth. The mixture should end up being slightly fluid.


In order to prepare sugar syrup, you need to take equal parts granulated sugar and water. Boil it over low heat for 5 – 7 minutes. Then add the hot syrup to the icing sugar and mix again.

Remove the finished cookies from the baking sheet and cool slightly to room temperature.

Now transfer the icing sugar into a pastry syringe or bag, using the thinnest nozzle. Decorate New Year's cookies to your liking, as your imagination tells you. You can decorate each circle with a wavy line along the entire edge. Leave the glaze to harden.

Before you start assembling our New Year's beauty, apply a little sugar icing to the center of each cookie, it will help hold all the details of the structure together. Assemble the pieces, starting with the largest product, i.e. We assemble the tree like a pyramid.
