Christmas cookies are a classic treat that brings joy to any celebration. Here’s a simple and delicious recipe to make your own cookies at home.
Ingredients:
- 250 g (1 cup) of butter (at room temperature)
- 200 g (1 cup) of sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 500 g (4 cups) of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- Powdered sugar and decorations (optional, for decorating)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and continue to mix until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until the dough comes together.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 5 mm (1/4 inch). Use cookie cutters with Christmas shapes to cut out the cookies and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are golden. Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack before decorating with powdered sugar and festive toppings, if desired.
