Christmas Sugar Cookie Recipe

Who doesn't love a good sugar cookie? Especially if they are homemade! If you caught my post yesterday you will know that over the weekend I made homemade sugar cookies for the first time and it was so much fun and did I mention easy! Almost as easy as buying the store bought cookie dough and just placing it on the cookie sheet.

I really enjoyed making the cookies from scratch because it was a fun family thing to do. Hope you all enjoy!

You will need...

2 3/4 cups of all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup butter, softened

1 1/2 cups white sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Rolling Pin

Christmas Cookie cutouts

Icing

• First preheat the oven to 375 degrees
• In a small bowl mix flour, baking soda and baking powder together.
• In a separate larger bowl, mix together butter and sugar until smooth.
• Beat in egg and vanilla in butter and sugar mixture bowl.
• Slowly blend in the dry ingredients from other bowl.

• On flat surface spread flour so cookie dough will not stick to surface. Also spread on rolling pin as well.
• Roll out cookie dough and use cookie cutter to make desired shapes.

• Place cookies on cookie pan and bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes.
• Allow to cool before decorating with icing. After cooled, decorate and enjoy your homemade Christmas cookies!
