Ingredients You Will Need
1. Butter
The key to achieving the perfect texture and flavor for your Christmas cut out cookies is using butter. Make sure to use unsalted butter and let it come to room temperature before using it in your dough.
2. Sugar
No cookie is complete without sugar. For this recipe, we will be using both granulated and powdered sugar for a balance of sweetness and texture.
3. Eggs
Eggs not only act as a binding agent for the dough, but they also add moisture and richness to the cookies. Make sure to use room temperature eggs for the best results.

A touch of vanilla extract adds a subtle but delicious flavor to the cookies. Don't skimp on this ingredient, as it truly makes a difference.
5. Flour
For the perfect texture, we will be using all-purpose flour. Make sure to measure it correctly by spooning it into the measuring cup and leveling it off.
6. Baking Powder
To give the cookies a light and airy texture, we will be using baking powder. This will help the cookies rise and maintain their shape while baking.
Instructions
1. Cream the Butter and Sugar
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Add in the Eggs and Vanilla
Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
3. Combine the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Slowly add this mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
4. Chill the Dough
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
5. Roll and Cut the Dough
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness. Use Christmas-themed cookie cutters to cut out your desired shapes.
6. Bake and Decorate
Place the cookies on a lined baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool completely before decorating with icing, sprinkles, and other decorations.
