Ingredients:
1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
Assorted Christmas-themed sprinkles and decorations
Step 1: Preheat the oven and prepare your baking sheet
Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
Step 2: Cream the butter and sugar
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This can be done using a handheld mixer or by hand using a wooden spoon.
Step 3: Add in the egg and vanilla
Once the butter and sugar are well combined, add in the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.
Step 4: Combine the dry ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add this mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Step 5: Roll out the dough and cut out shapes
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about ¼ inch thickness. Use your favorite Christmas cookie cutters to cut out festive shapes. Place the cutouts onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each cookie.
Step 6: Decorate and bake
This is where the kids can really get involved! Let them decorate the cookies with Christmas-themed sprinkles or any other toppings of their choice. Once the cookies are decorated, bake them in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Step 7: Let cool and enjoy!
