To start off, preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan)/350°F/gas mark 4.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and caster sugar together until light and fluffy. Then add in the egg yolk and vanilla extract and mix well.
Sift in the plain flour and salt into the bowl and mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, you can add a splash of milk to bring it together.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1cm thickness. Using your favorite holiday cookie cutters, cut out your desired shapes and place them on a lined baking tray.
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until they are lightly golden. Let them cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cookies are cooling, make the icing by sifting the icing sugar into a bowl and adding in 2-3 tablespoons of water, mixing until you get a smooth consistency. If you want to add some holiday cheer, you can also add in a few drops of food coloring.
Once the cookies are completely cooled, decorate them with the icing and top with sprinkles if desired. Let the icing set before serving or storing in an airtight container.
This delicious Waitrose Christmas cookie recipe is perfect for making with family and friends, and the best part is that you can customize it however you like. Whether you want to add festive colors or different flavors, the possibilities are endless with this versatile recipe.
