I have an addiction to the Cosmic Brownie Christmas Trees.
I don’t know what it is about the Christmas Tree ones that are so addicting, but I just can’t get enough of them.
Well, my stash ran out the other day, and decided I would just make my own. However, I cheated and used a box brownie mix, but they still tasted amazing.
This is such a fun and easy recipe to make for the holidays, and I think they tasted even better than the packaged brownies from the store.
My kids also loved making these with me. It was so fun to watch them frost and add their “ornaments” to their own special Christmas Tree Brownies.
HOW TO GET THE MOST BROWNIES
As I am sure you know, I used a cookie cutter, after baking these brownies, to get the Christmas Tree Shape.
I also used a boxed brownies mix to make this recipe. On the box, it explains how long to cook the brownies, depending on the size of pan you use.
I used the biggest pan, to get the most brownies.
If you use a small 9 inch by 9 inch pan, you are only going to be able to get a few Christmas trees out of the batch.

- 1 Tablespoon butter, at room temperature

- Then add the powdered sugar and continue to beat until smooth and creamy.
