- Place each ball, folded side down, on the parchment paper. Mark your Christmas tree shape with 7 balls.

- Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until your Christmas tree's surface is golden.
- Mix the butter, garlic, parmesan and basil while your tree bakes. Combine all ingredients until well combined
- After the tree has been baked, apply the butter mixture to the entire surface and cover it completely.
- Let cool down for five minutes, then serve with marinara sauce to dip.
