Ingredients You Will Need
Flour
The first and most important ingredient in any homemade Christmas cookie dough is flour. It is the base of the dough and provides the structure and texture to your cookies. For best results, use all-purpose flour as it has the right balance of protein and gluten.
Sugar
Sugar is what gives your cookies their sweetness and helps them to brown and crisp up in the oven. For this recipe, we recommend using a combination of granulated sugar and brown sugar for a perfect balance of sweetness and flavor.
Butter
Butter is not only the key to making your cookies rich and flavorful, but it also helps to bind all the ingredients together. Make sure to use unsalted butter for this recipe, as it gives you more control over the saltiness of your cookies.
Eggs
Eggs are essential in any cookie dough recipe as they act as a binding agent and help to keep your cookies moist. For this recipe, we recommend using room temperature eggs to ensure they mix well with the other ingredients.
Vanilla Extract
Vanilla extract adds a delicious flavor to your cookies and enhances the taste of all the other ingredients. Make sure to use pure vanilla extract for the best results.
Salt
While it may seem like an insignificant ingredient, salt plays an important role in balancing the sweetness of your cookies and enhancing their flavors. Use a pinch of salt in this recipe to bring out the best in your cookies.
Directions
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
Add in the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
Divide the dough into two equal portions and wrap in plastic wrap.
Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness and cut out your desired shapes.
Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, decorate your cookies as desired and enjoy!
With this homemade Christmas cookie dough recipe, you can easily make batches of delicious and festive cookies to share with your loved ones. Feel free to get creative and add your own twist to the recipe by incorporating different flavors and decorations. Happy baking!
