About the Christmas Sugar Cookies
An easy-peasy cookie recipe to ease out your Christmas week cooking. These are your typical vanilla biscuits, only softer & melt in the mouth. These cookies are highly versatile, can be cut and molded into any shape, very easy-to-handle dough, doesn't require pre-freezing either. So there is no wait time at all. You can have them with sprinkled icing sugar, buttercream icing, royal icing, or dipped in chocolate.
These cookies when being cut & going in the oven are a little tender but they hold their shape perfectly – as you can see in the pictures.
These Christmas Sugar Cookies, have the most basic and readily available ingredients and thus don't require much work in procuring and shopping.
The key ingredients are flour, butter & sugar, which makes the dough easy to handle and can be scrunched up and rolled up again over and over until you’ve used up every last bit of dough.
They are plain, sweet vanilla cookies and are perfect for icing and decorating as you please.
Happy Baking :)
Now add egg and vanilla, and whisk until completely combined.
Now cut the cookies as per your choice using the cookie cutters and use a knife or spatula to transfer cut cookies into the prepared baking tray. (Keep the remaining dough that doesn’t fit in the oven in the fridge so that they are not sticky).
Bake for 10 minutes, until the surface is pale golden and the edges are just beginning to turn light golden. They get slightly harder and retain shape once they get cooled so there is no need to overbake.
In a large bowl beat sugar, butter, vanilla, and 1 tablespoon of milk until creamy.
Mix in more milk, 1 to 2 drops at a time, to reach desired spreading consistency.
Stir in food coloring and use.
