1. Festive Sugar Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Nothing says Christmas like a batch of freshly baked sugar cookies. Start by creaming together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, and mix until a dough forms. Divide the dough into two equal parts, and add red food coloring to one and green food coloring to the other. Roll out each dough separately and use your Christmas-themed cookie cutters to cut out festive shapes. Bake at 375°F for 8-10 minutes, then let cool before decorating with icing and sprinkles.
