• Let the baked shapes cool completely on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes.
• Continue baking until all shapes are baked.
• Fold the shapes into the shape of Christmas trees (see photo below) and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
• Heat the white chocolate chips in the microwave for 20 seconds.
• Mix well and heat again for another 20 seconds.
• Stir until all the chocolate has melted.
• Spoon some white chocolate onto the tops of the Christmas trees and place an almond in the center.
