Ingredients:

1 cup butter
220g
1/2 cup powdered sugar
80g
1/3 cup honey
80g
2 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
250g
1/3 cup self-raising flour
50g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g
2 tbsp milk (1% fat)
30g
2 egg whites
63g
1/4 cup powdered sugar
40g
1 tbsp lemon juice
5g
1/2 cup dried coconut meat
72g

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line baking trays with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Make the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the honey to the creamed mixture and mix until well combined.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose white wheat flour, self-raising flour, and cinnamon.
4. Mix Dough:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until you form a soft dough.
5. Roll and Shape:
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about a 1/4-inch thickness.
- Use tree-shaped cookie cutters to cut out the Christmas tree shapes (you can use different sizes if desired).
- Place the cut-out cookies on the prepared baking trays, leaving a small space between each cookie.
6. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.
7. Prepare the Icing:
- In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy.
- Gradually add the 1/4 cup powdered sugar, continuously whisking until the mixture becomes smooth and glossy.
- Add the lemon juice and whisk until incorporated and the icing has a thick but spreadable consistency.
8. Decorate:
- Using a small spatula or piping bag, apply the icing to the cooled cookies in a tree-like pattern.
- Sprinkle the iced cookies with dried coconut meat to resemble snow.
9. Set and Serve:
- Allow the icing to set completely before serving or storing the cookies.
- Enjoy these festive and delicious Honey and Cinnamon Christmas Trees with family and friends!

Tips:

- Ensure the butter is at room temperature before mixing it with the powdered sugar to achieve a smooth, creamy texture.

- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This makes it easier to shape and helps the cookies hold their form while baking.

- For a more pronounced cinnamon flavor, consider increasing the cinnamon to 1.5 tsp.

- Use a piping bag to decorate the cookies with the egg white icing for a more precise and festive look.

- Store the cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to a week.

Creating these Honey and Cinnamon Christmas Trees is a joy that brings the festive season to life in your kitchen. Not only do they look charming on the table, but they also capture the essence of the holidays in every bite. Share them with friends and family, or keep them as your little holiday indulgence.
