How to Make Christmas Sandies
Gather Your Ingredients
To make these scrumptious Christmas Sandies, you will need butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, all-purpose flour, salt, and chopped nuts. For a festive twist, you can also add in some dried cranberries or white chocolate chips.
Cream the Butter and Sugar
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy. This will create a smooth and airy texture for the cookies.
Add in the Vanilla and Flour
Next, add in the vanilla extract and gradually mix in the all-purpose flour and salt. The dough should come together easily and not be too sticky. If the dough is too dry, you can add in a tablespoon of milk to help bind it together.
Stir in the Nuts and Other Additions
Once the dough is well combined, stir in the chopped nuts and any other additions you desire, such as dried cranberries or white chocolate chips. This will give the cookies a festive and flavorful touch.
Form the Cookies
Take small handfuls of dough and roll them into balls. Place the balls on a greased baking sheet and flatten them slightly with the palm of your hand. Make sure to leave enough space between each cookie for them to spread while baking.
Bake and Enjoy
Finally, bake the Christmas Sandies in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let them cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy with your loved ones!
Now that you have the recipe for these delightful Christmas Sandies, it's time to start baking and spreading some holiday cheer. These cookies also make great gifts, so don't be afraid to share the love with your friends and family. Happy baking and happy holidays!
