Answer 1

Get a recipe for vanilla rolled cookies
Cut 8 star shapes cookies in graduated sizes
starting with the largest star, frost them as if decorating a christmas tree.
stack them on top of each other with largest on bottom to smallest on top.

Answer 2

Berlinerkranzer (Berlin Wreaths)

1 ½ cups butter shortening (like buttery Crisco)
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons grated orange rind
2 eggs
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg white
2 tablespoons sugar
Red candied cherries
Green citron

Mix shortening, 1 cup sugar, rind, and eggs thoroughly. Stir in flour. Chill dough. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Break off small pieces of dough, about 6” long and ¼” thick. (If rich dough splits apart or seems crumbly, let it warm or work in a few drops of liquid until the dough sticks together.) Form each piece into a circle, bringing one end over and through in a single knot. Leave ½” end on each side. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Beat egg white until frothy; gradually beat in 2 teaspoons of sugar; brush tops with this meringue. Press bits of red candied cherries on center of knot for holiday berries. Add little jagged leaves cut out of green citron. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or until set but not brown. Makes about 6 dozen 2” cookies.
