The time definitely flies and I’ve got the feeling the days just merge into one.

But that means that Christmas is almost here, right?

Today’s recipe is super easy, tasty and Christmassy – Vanilla Christmas tree cookies.

These literally take 5 minutes to prepare and 20 to cook.

The longest part is the decorating, but that’s totally up to your decoration skills.

I used different cutters so again is up to you.

Here’s what you need.

1. Preheat the oven to 160°C/320°F.
2. In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder.
3. Gradually add the eggs, butter and vanilla bean paste and make a moth dough.
4. Roll it out on a flour dusted surface to about 5mm thin and start cutting the cookies.
5. Arrange them on a greased baking tray and bake in the oven for about 20 minutes or until ready.
6. Remove from the oven, let them cool down and decorate as you wish.
