Mix, Roll, and Bake

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
3. In a separate larger bowl, cream together 1 cup of unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add in 2 eggs and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
6. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
7. Use your Christmas-themed cookie cutters to cut out your desired shapes and place them on a lined baking sheet.
8. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are just starting to turn golden brown.
9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Decorate and Enjoy

Once your cookies have cooled, it's time to get creative with decorations! You can use festive sprinkles, colored icing, or even melted chocolate to add some holiday cheer to your cookies. Let your imagination run wild and have fun with it!

Tip: If you want to hang your cookies as decorations, make a small hole at the top of the cookies before baking with a straw or skewer. After decorating, thread a ribbon through the hole and hang on your tree or around your home.

These Christmas cookies are not only delicious but also make for a fun holiday activity for the whole family. So go ahead and make a batch (or two) and spread some holiday cheer with these festive treats.
