December just wouldn’t feel right with a plate piled high with sugar cookies and these are this recipe is the easiest to bake and frost!
We’re right smack dab in the middle of the holiday season, which means my kitchen is a pretty hopping spot. I’ve been collecting all my baking ingredients and getting my favorite recipes ready to go! Since December just wouldn’t feel right with a plate piled high with sugar cookies — the quintessential holiday cookie — I’ve decided to whip up a few batches of these tasty treats to give away as gifts to friends and neighbors.
I know there are folks out there who aren’t as keen on giving foodie gifts at Christmastime, but I LOVE it! Most of us don’t need a ton of new stuff, but when someone gives me baked goods, I always appreciate it — and so do my kids!
Butter: Creamy and rich, butter adds a luscious and indulgent flavor to make your Christmas sugar cookies irresistibly delicious.
Sugar: Sweet and granulated, sugar is the key ingredient that brings a delightful sweetness to each bite of your holiday treats.
Egg: One simple egg lends a golden hue and contributes to the soft and chewy texture, ensuring your Christmas sugar cookies are just right.
Vanilla Extract: Fragrant and aromatic, vanilla extract enhances the flavor profile with a warm and inviting essence, making your cookies extra delightful.
Almond Extract: A hint of almond extract adds a subtle and nutty undertone, elevating the taste of your Christmas sugar cookies to a whole new level of yumminess.
Flour: The foundation of your cookies, flour provides structure and a soft, tender crumb, creating the perfect base for your festive treats.
Salt: A pinch of salt balances the sweetness, highlighting the flavors and adding a touch of depth to your easiest Christmas sugar cookie recipe.
I hope you enjoy my sugar cookie recipe, too. Also, don’t forget to make enough to share with all your friends, neighbors, and family this season!
