  • Preheat the oven to 170°.
  • In a mixer, blend the butter with the sugar until the butter is creamy. Add the Huevo San Juan® piece, the yolk, and the ginger. Mix for 5 minutes.
  • Gradually incorporate the flour and salt, mixing for 10 minutes until a dough forms. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for a day.
  • Sprinkle a little flour on the surface, place the dough, and roll out with a rolling pin until it is 0.5 cm thick.
  • Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze the dough for 10 minutes.
  • Place the tree cutters on the dough, remove the excess, and bake for 10 minutes at 180 °C.
  • Let the cookies cool.
  • Outline the trees with green royal icing and fill in. Let dry for 20 minutes.
  • With white royal icing, make curved lines at the base of the tree and use a brush to pull the center of each wave to blend upwards.
  • Make several waves up the height of the tree.
  • Place a dot of icing at the tip of the tree and stick a golden pearl.
  • Bake a couple more cookies, and once cooled, outline the trees with white royal icing and fill in. Let dry for 20 minutes.
  • Make waves along the entire tree and place a pastel pearl at each joint.
  • Let your cookies dry completely for at least 5 hours and assemble the trees.
