These are all common ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry, making this recipe even more convenient. Using quality ingredients will ensure that your cookies turn out soft, buttery, and full of flavor.
Decorations
Aside from the main ingredients, you'll also need some festive decorations to make your sugar cookies truly special. This could include sprinkles, colored icing, or even edible glitter. Get creative and let your imagination run wild. After all, the beauty of homemade cookies is that you can make them unique and add your own personal touch.
Parchment Paper
Parchment paper is a must-have when it comes to baking sugar cookies. It prevents the cookies from sticking to the baking sheet and makes for easy cleanup. It also helps to ensure that your cookies bake evenly, giving you perfect results every time.
Directions
Mixing the Dough
Start by creaming together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Then, add in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until a dough forms.
Rolling and Cutting
Once the dough is ready, roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness. You can use cookie cutters to create fun and festive shapes, or simply cut the dough into squares or circles. Place the cutouts onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Decorating
Once the cookies are cooled, it's time for the fun part – decorating! Let your creative juices flow and use the decorations of your choice to make your cookies look beautiful and delicious. This is the perfect activity to do with kids, as they can get involved in the decorating process and let their imaginations run wild.
Enjoy!
Your holiday sugar cookies are now ready to be enjoyed! Serve them as a sweet treat at your holiday gathering or wrap them up in a festive tin to give as gifts. No matter how you choose to enjoy them, these homemade cookies are sure to spread joy and cheer this holiday season.
