Creating the Perfect Dough
Flour, Sugar, and Everything Nice
To start, gather all the necessary ingredients for the dough: all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, butter, egg, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. It's important to use room temperature butter to ensure that it mixes well with the other ingredients. Beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, then add in the egg and vanilla extract and continue to mix. Gradually add in the flour and salt, making sure to mix until the dough comes together.
Chilling and Rolling Out the Dough
Once the dough is well mixed, it's important to chill it in the refrigerator for at least an hour. This will make it easier to roll out and cut into shapes. When ready, preheat your oven to 375°F and roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to create fun holiday shapes such as Christmas trees, stars, or gingerbread men.
Baking and Decorating
Baking to Perfection
Place the cut-out dough shapes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Keep a close eye on the cookies as they can easily burn. Once done, let them cool completely before decorating.
Get Creative with Frosting and Sprinkles
Now comes the fun part – decorating the cookies! Mix together powdered sugar, milk, and food coloring to create a smooth and colorful frosting. Use a piping bag or a small knife to spread the frosting onto the cookies. You can also add some extra sparkle with sprinkles, glitter, or edible pearls. Let your creativity run wild and have fun making each cookie unique.
Hang and Enjoy!
Once the frosting has dried, punch a small hole at the top of each cookie using a straw or a toothpick. Thread some ribbon or twine through the hole and tie a knot at the end to create a loop for hanging. These sugar cookie Christmas ornaments will not only look beautiful on your tree, but they also make for a delicious treat to enjoy throughout the holiday season. So get baking and add some extra sweetness to your Christmas decorations!
