Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and lay out a sheet of parchment paper.
Lay out a sheet of gluten-free puff pastry on the parchment paper and spread the Nutella evenly over it.
Top the Nutella with another sheet of puff pastry.
Starting from the top of the puff pastry sheet, make an angled cut from the center of the sheet to the edge of the sheet about ¾ of the way down on both sides. This creates the top of the tree.
Cut across the bottom, leaving a center rectangle for the tree trunk. Then cut slits in the sides at even intervals.
Twist the cut sides gently to make the branches.
Use Christmas cookie cutters to cut out extra Christmas cookie shapes and decorate the tree if you like.
Bake the tree for 12 to 14 minutes until golden.
Dust the pastry tree with powdered sugar and serve!

Storage

Store at room temperature for up to 2 days in an airtight container.
To reheat, microwave individual portions at 30-second intervals until heated through.

Tips

Your puff pastry should be as cold as possible before baking, so keep it in the fridge until you're ready to use it.
For clean cuts that fold easily, use a very sharp knife and use even strokes and pressure.
When cutting out your shapes, press the cookie cutter directly downward with firm pressure to ensure pretty shapes.
