Prepare and refrigerate recipes individually as directed. Heat oven to

350º. Lightly grease cookie sheet.

Roll half of 1 recipe of dough at a time 1/4 inch thick on floured

surface. Cut 3 cookies of each size with floured cutter or patterns. Place

about 2 inches apart on cookie sheet.

Bake large cookies 12 to 14 minutes and small cookies 8 to 10 minutes or

until no indentation remains when touched. Cool slightly; remove from

cookie sheet. Cool completely.

Beat powdered sugar, vanilla and half-and-half until smooth and of

spreading consistency. Assemble tree on serving plate or foil-covered

cardboard: Starting with largest cookies, stack cookies as frosted, or

stack unfrosted cookies together with small dab of frosting in center of

each. Let layers dry or hold cookies in place with bamboo skewers if

necessary. Use remaining frosting to pipe "snow" on the tree with

decorating bag. Decorate with assorted candies.
