Stacking Gingerbread Star Cookies into a Tree
A boy works in a living room while building a stacked Christmas tree using gingerbread star cookies of decreasing size. As each cookie star sits rotated on top of the larger one beneath it, the points create the appearance of tree branches.
Science of Stacked Cookie Structures
Building a tiered cookie tree requires placing large star shapes at the bottom and gradually smaller shapes toward the top. Icing placed between each layer acts as edible mortar, preventing the cookies from sliding apart. Star shapes work particularly well because rotating each layer creates balanced branch points in all directions.
