"They're classic cut-out sugar cookies, with crisp edges, soft middles, and a warm, buttery flavor from vanilla and almond extract. Made with a simple 8-ingredient dough, they hold their shape in the oven, which means that you can cut them into all kinds of holiday shapes. While you could enjoy these Christmas sugar cookies plain, we think half the fun of making them is decorating them. Top them with icing, plus sprinkles, colored sugar, and/or candies for a festive holiday treat."
"Start by making the cookie dough. I use softened butter in this recipe, so I make the dough in a stand mixer (an electric hand mixer works too). I cream together the butter and sugar, then add an egg to bind the dough together and keep the cookies soft. Next, I mix in the vanilla and almond extracts. Finally, I gradually add the dry ingredients and mix until a soft cookie dough forms."
An 8-ingredient sugar cookie dough produces classic cut-out Christmas cookies with crisp edges, soft middles, and a warm buttery flavor from vanilla and almond extract. The dough is made by creaming softened butter and sugar, adding an egg, then mixing in vanilla and almond extracts before gradually adding dry ingredients until a soft dough forms. The dough must be chilled, rolled, and cut into festive shapes; the cookies hold shape in the oven. Cookies can be decorated with royal or non-royal icing, sprinkles, colored sugar, and candies. Baked cookies freeze well for later decorating.
