This is an older post featuring a giveaway I did at one point for Pillsbury. The giveaway is over, but I'm leaving the photos up for some holiday cookie recipe ideas -- particularly the Christmas Tree Brownies. They are easy and super cute! You just make triangular brownies, frost them with green frosting and decorate.
Ready to Use Green Frosting
The not-so-subtle Garland Green Vanilla Flavored Holiday Funfetti Frosting was a seasonal frosting from Pillsbury® Baking . They tend to change things up, so check the link to see what new frosting colors, cakes and cookie mixes they have for the upcoming holidays. The last time I checked it looked like they had a green Funfetti.
Holiday Cookie Mixes
Another holiday convenience item is the sugar cookie mix. Again, it appears they have some new and interesting ones including a roll-out sugar cookie mix. I have a million roll-out sugar cookie recipes, but am actually kind of excited to try Pillsbury's mix version. Will the cookies be puffy? Will they have sharp corners? Here's a picture of an old box of the traditional ones.
More Holiday Cookie Recipe Ideas
And here's a picture of a Texas themed Christmas sugar cookie I made years ago. I guess I'll have to make a North Carolina shaped one now.
For more ideas, check Pillsbury's Pinterest Page and Pillsbury Baking on Facebook.

Those brownies are darling. I haven't tried your Palm Beach brownie, I like the shiny top one so well anyway. I received the package with the mixes and tub of icing and the gift card. Thanks for the opportunity.

Yes, it's Texas!
I should also mention that the Palm Beach brownie recipe I posted yesterday works well for cutting. Ina Garten's recipe (Outrageous Brownies) cut well, too. Or you could always use Pillsbury brownies.

It's Texas! Volunteered to do a cookie tray for a neighbor and the brownie trees would be a cute border!
Darlene says
Adorable brownie tree, what a great idea! I like the stand in the last picture, but cannot decide what the shape of the cookie is - the ghost of Christmas' past?
