These butter-based Christmas cookies are delicious and super cute. They are decorated before baking with the same dough painted, giving them a unique and original touch. Moreover, they are easy to prepare.

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Beat the butter with the sugar for 4 minutes. Add the eggs one by one along with the vanilla and almond extract, continuing to beat. Add the flour and salt and beat until incorporated. Divide the dough into 3 parts. Paint the dough with green, red, and yellow food coloring. Roll out the green dough and make decorations with the rest of the dough like little balls or sticks. Place the decorations on the green dough and cover with wax paper or non-stick plastic. Press with a rolling pin to integrate them into the green dough. Cut out little trees or use Christmas-shaped cutters. Place the cookies on a baking sheet and refrigerate for 15 minutes. Bake for about 10 to 15 minutes, cool, and serve.
