Items you will need

• Large mixing bowl
• Cookie sheet
• Rolling pin
• Christmas tree cookie cutter
• Piping bag with fine nozzle
• Red or green grosgrain ribbon
• 1 pound of lean, ground chicken
• 1 16-oz. can of mackerel, chopped
• 2 cups soy flour
• 1 cup wheat germ
• 1 cup powdered skim milk
• 1 cup coarse, dry cornmeal
• 2 cups whole-wheat flour
• 1 cup rye flour
• 2 tablespoons Animal Essentials calcium
• 3 tablespoons kelp
• 4 tablespoons safflower oil
• 1/2 tablespoon cod liver oil
• 1/4 cup alfalfa powder
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 400 IU vitamin E
• 1 quart distilled water
• 1 cup low-fat cream cheese, softened
• 1 tablespoon raw honey

Step 1

Mix all the ingredients together. Knead into a firm dough. Roll the dough out on a cookie sheet about 1/2-inch thick. Cut into Christmas tree shapes. Poke a hole at the top of each tree for the ribbon.

Step 2

Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 to 45 minutes until lightly toasted. Cool in the oven for an hour or leave overnight to harden.

Step 3

Mix the cream cheese with the honey and add the coloring. Whip into a fluffy consistency. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a fine nozzle. Trace the tree’s outline with the frosting and add a few polka dots. Refrigerate for two to three hours to set the frosting.

Step 4

Cut the ribbon into strips of about 6 inches, long enough to tie a bow. Decorate your Christmas tree with a few and store the rest in the refrigerator.
