\nCOOKIES
\nStep 1 In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. In another large bowl, using an electric mixer on high speed beat butter and granulated sugar until fluffy and pale in color, about 2 minutes. Add egg, milk, and vanilla and beat on medium speed until combined. Gradually add dry ingredients and mix until fully combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula, if needed.
\nStep\u00a02Divide dough in half. Place between 2 pieces of lightly floured parchment. Roll each piece to a scant 1\/4″-thick round. Transfer to a large baking sheet and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
\nStep\u00a03Preheat oven to 350\u00b0 and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment. Cut out dough with a 3″ tree-shaped cookie cutter and transfer to prepared sheets, spacing 1″ apart. Freeze 5 minutes.
\nStep\u00a04Bake cookies until edges are lightly golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
\nICING & ASSEMBLY
\nStep 1 In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat meringue powder and 5 tablespoons water until frothy and starting to stiffen about 1 minute. Add powdered sugar and beat on medium speed until smooth and thick, 1 to 2 minutes. Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, as needed until icing holds its shape without being too stiff to work with.
\nStep 2Add a few drops of food coloring to the icing and use a toothpick to swirl a few times to create a marbled effect.
\nStep 3 Working one at a time, dip the tops of cookies into icing, then lift and allow excess to drip back into the bowl. Continue to dip, swirling in more food coloring as needed, until the cookie is coated. Let sit on wire racks until icing hardens, about 30 minutes.<\/p>\n
