The Ingredients
What You'll Need:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
Assorted decorations, such as sprinkles, colored sugar, or royal icing
As you can see, the ingredients are simple and can easily be found in any grocery store. Make sure to take the butter out of the fridge ahead of time to let it soften. This will make it easier to cream with the sugar and result in a smoother dough.
The Recipe
Step 1: Cream the Butter and Sugar
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This may take a few minutes, but it's important to fully incorporate the ingredients to get the right texture for the cookie dough.
Step 2: Add the Egg and Vanilla
Once the butter and sugar are well combined, add in the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.
Step 3: Combine the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Slowly add this mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Step 4: Chill the Dough
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This will make it easier to roll out and cut into shapes.
Step 5: Roll Out and Cut the Cookies
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out your desired shapes and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 6: Decorate and Bake
Now comes the fun part! Use sprinkles, colored sugar, or royal icing to decorate your cookies. Get creative and have fun with it! Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Step 7: Enjoy!
Let the cookies cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, enjoy your delicious Christmas sugar cookies with your family and friends. Happy holidays and happy baking!
