Ingredients
1. Flour
The foundation of any good cookie is flour, and for this recipe, you'll need 2 and 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour. Make sure to measure it accurately, as too much flour can result in dry and crumbly cookies.
2. Sugar
As the name suggests, sugar is a key ingredient in these cookies. You'll need 3/4 cup of granulated sugar and 1/4 cup of brown sugar to add sweetness and moisture to the dough.
3. Butter
For that rich and buttery flavor, you'll need 1 cup of softened butter. Make sure to use unsalted butter so you can control the amount of salt in the recipe.
4. Eggs
To bind the ingredients together, you'll need 2 eggs. Make sure they are at room temperature to ensure even mixing with the other ingredients.
5. Vanilla extract
Adding just a teaspoon of vanilla extract will enhance the flavor of your cookies and give them that classic bakery taste.
6. Baking powder and salt
To give your cookies that perfect rise and texture, you'll need 1 teaspoon of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
7. Festive sprinkles
To add a touch of Christmas cheer to your cookies, don't forget to have some festive sprinkles on hand for decorating.
Instructions
1. Cream butter and sugar
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
2. Add eggs and vanilla
Next, add in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
3. Sift in dry ingredients
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
4. Chill the dough
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This will make the dough easier to handle and prevent the cookies from spreading too much while baking.
5. Preheat oven and prepare baking sheets
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
6. Roll out the dough and cut into shapes
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use festive cookie cutters to cut out your desired shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
7. Bake and decorate
Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, decorate with sprinkles and enjoy!
8. Store and share
Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage. These Christmas sugar cookies also make great gifts, so don't be afraid to share them with your loved ones.
Now that you have the recipe, it's time to get baking and create some delicious memories this holiday season. These Christmas sugar cookies are guaranteed to be a hit and will have everyone coming back for more. Happy baking!
