Welcome to our delightful Christmas cookies recipe! These cookies are perfect for the holiday season, bringing joy and festive flavor to your celebrations. Easy to make and delicious to eat, these Christmas cookies will become a favorite tradition in your household.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar using an electric mixer or a whisk until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Gradually add in the milk and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix well until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the self-raising flour to the wet mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms. Be sure not to over-mix.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the dough and roll them into balls using your hands.
- Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cookies are completely cooled, you can decorate them with icing, sprinkles, or other festive decorations as desired.
- Serve the cookies immediately, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Tips:
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before rolling it out to prevent it from becoming too sticky.
- Use parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking to the baking sheet and to ease the cleanup process.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for longer.
Enjoy your homemade Christmas cookies with friends and family this holiday season! These cookies are sure to spread cheer and delight at any festive gathering. Happy baking and Happy Holidays!
