Chocolate Christmas Tree Cake with Nutella Frosting!

Merry Christmas!!!
The bloggers and little chefs today are my 5 and 6 years old daughters!
They baked (with my help of course :)) this Christmas cake and decorated it with Nutella frosting and edible sugar snowflakes and tree light. Oh! and they used glitter icing for the string of lights and glittery pink edible powder for the bottom of the tree. I guess with girls this age everything has to be glittery :)
I won't post the recipe. Any chocolate recipe cake will do.
Have a wonderful Holiday Season!

Serves about 8 people

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
1 1/2 cup of shortening
2 1/2 cups of flour
Raw pistachios* (each cookie needs one pistachio)

In the mixer, add shortening then the sugar, mix well until all becomes fluffy, then add the flour gradually until you get the cookie dough ready. Let the dough rest for 15 minutes. To make the shape of the cookies, take a small amount about the size of a small ball, roll it about 1/4 inch and then close it just like making a circle. Right where you attach this circleor where the two ends meet place a pistachio there (the photo shows the shape). Place on a baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes into a heated 275 or 300 degrees oven. Do not touch the cookies until they are completely cooled off. Sometimes the cookies might need more minutes depending on the oven's temperature.

* Raw pistachios can be found in Middle Eastern stores, or you can simply use almonds instead.
