Steps:
- Combine sugar and butter in a large bowl. Cream using an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Stir into the butter mixture and mix to combine. Shape dough into a ball, cover, and refrigerate at least 1 hour to overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface 1/4- to 1/2-inch thick. Cut out different-sized stars with cookie cutters; the height of the Christmas tree will depend on the number of cookies you stack, but you need at least 7 or 8 stars. Place cookies 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer cookies carefully onto wire racks and cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- Combine confectioners' sugar, meringue powder, and water in a bowl and beat at low speed using an electric blender until peaks form, 7 to 10 minutes. Pour icing into a piping bag with a star-shaped tip.
- Place the largest star onto a plate and pipe a little bit of royal icing into the middle. Add the second-largest star on top, turning the star slightly so the points are offset from the previous star cookie. Repeat adding smaller-sized star cookies and attaching them with royal icing. Decorate the cookie Christmas tree with royal icing, silver balls, and other holiday decor. Roll out yellow fondant and cut out a small star to place on top of the cookie tree and secure with royal icing. Decorate remaining cookies to your liking.
- Dust the finished tree with confectioners' sugar.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375°F. Make drop cookie dough as directed on pouch. Shape 3 (1/4-cup) balls (2 inches in diameter) from dough. Shape 3 more balls using 3 level tablespoons dough (1 7/8 inches in diameter) for each ball. Place all 6 balls on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are light brown. Cool 3 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack.
- Meanwhile, shape 3 balls using 2 tablespoons dough (1 3/4 inches in diameter) for each ball. Shape 3 balls using rounded tablespoon dough (1 1/2 inches in diameter) for each ball. Place all 6 balls on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until edges are light brown. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack.

Many of our holiday traditions center around the foods my mother made while I was growing up. These cookies, which we called "Strufoli", bring back wonderful memories. -Sue Seymour, Valatie, New York

- Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar with an electric mixer. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Add baking powder and flour, one cup at a time, mixing after each addition. The dough will be very stiff; blend last flour in by hand (if dough becomes too stiff and does not hold together in a ball, add water, a teaspoon at a time). Divide dough into 4 balls, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 20 minutes.
- Measure out the powdered sugar into a medium bowl. Sift it only if it has a lot of lumps. I buy the grocery store brand powdered sugar that comes in a 32 ounce plastic bag so I don't have to sift it. I also weigh out the 16 ounces needed for this recipe using a food scale. Set aside.
- Place the largest cookie onto a serving platter or cakestand (pipe a dollop of frosting under the cookie, so it will stick to the plate). Then place the next large cookie of the same size on top, moving it so the points of the stars are alternating (not lined up). Pipe green buttercream stars on the 5 corners of the cookie star. Pipe a dollop of frosting in the middle, so the next cookie will stick. Repeat these steps with 2 of each size cookie until you get to the top. Pipe white stars onto the smalled star cookie and place on top of your cookie tree. Garnish with white pearl sprinkles and yellow star sprinkles. Serve within 24 hours for best taste and freshness.
