To start, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. In a separate larger bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
Slowly add in the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. If desired, add a few drops of red and green food coloring to create a festive swirl effect. Mix until a dough forms.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
In the meantime, make the icing by whisking together the confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a bit more milk. If it's too thin, add more confectioners' sugar. Once the cookies are completely cooled, drizzle the icing on top. Allow the icing to set before serving.
There you have it, a simple and delicious Christmas drop sugar cookie recipe that is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So go ahead and add this festive treat to your holiday baking list, and spread some joy and cheer this season with these tasty cookies. Happy baking!
