16+ Frosting Sugar Cookie Recipe For Christmas Ignite Your Passion For Cooking!

The Perfect Sugar Cookie Base

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt

To start off, we need to make the perfect sugar cookie base. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Then, add in the egg and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add this mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.

Next, divide the dough into two equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Flatten the dough balls into discs and wrap them in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the dough to firm up.

Decorating Your Cookies

Ingredients:

• 2 cups confectioners' sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Food coloring (optional)
• Sprinkles, candies, or other decorations of your choice

Once the dough has chilled, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness. Use your favorite Christmas cookie cutters to cut out your desired shapes and place them on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.

While the cookies cool, we can make the frosting. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the confectioners' sugar, milk, corn syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth. If you want to add some color to your frosting, you can mix in a few drops of food coloring. Once the cookies have cooled completely, use a knife or offset spatula to spread the frosting onto the cookies. Add your favorite decorations on top and let the frosting set before serving.

These Christmas frosting sugar cookies are not only delicious but also make for a beautiful and festive treat. Feel free to get creative with your decorations and have fun with it. These cookies also make for great gifts, so don't be afraid to share them with your loved ones. Happy baking and Merry Christmas!
