How to make
-
STEP 1
Combine flour blend, powdered sugar and cornstarch in bowl; set aside.

STEP 2
Beat butter in another bowl at medium speed until creamy. Add flour mixture, lemon juice and lemon zest; beat at low speed until dough forms.

STEP 3
Shape dough into 2 (8-inch) logs; press in sides to form triangles with 1-inch base and 2-inch sides. Wrap each log in plastic food wrap; refrigerate 2 hours or until firm.
-
STEP 4
Heat oven to 350°F.
-
STEP 5
Cut logs into 3/8-inch slices with sharp knife. Place 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Insert pretzel half into bottom edge to form tree trunk. Press zigzag-style potato masher or knife handle into cookies to create lines for “trees”. Decorate with decorator sprinkles.
-
STEP 6
Bake 9-11 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool on cookie sheets.
