Christmas wreath cookies

Christmas wreath cookies are a delightful festive treat that brings the holiday spirit to your kitchen. These buttery, light cookies are perfect for sharing with family and friends, and their wreath shape adds a charming touch to your holiday spread. The combination of vanilla and a hint of lemon creates a delicious flavor that will have everyone reaching for seconds.

Ingredients:

1 cup butter
220g
1 cup powdered sugar
160g
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2g
1.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
190g
1/2 cup vanilla extract
72g
2 tbsp lemon juice
10g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy.
3. Add Vanilla Extract and Lemon Juice: Mix in the 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract and the lemon juice until well combined.
4. Mix Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour and the (assumed) cornstarch to the wet mixture. Mix until the dough comes together.
5. Shape Cookies: Take small portions of the dough and roll them into ropes about 1/2 inch thick. Shape these ropes into circles to resemble wreaths. Place each wreath onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each cookie.
6. Decorate (Optional): If you desire, you can decorate your wreath cookies with sprinkles or other edible decorations to give them a more festive appearance.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are just starting to turn golden brown.
8. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve or Store: Enjoy your Christmas Wreath Cookies immediately or store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh.

Tips:

- Ensure your butter is at room temperature before mixing. This will ensure a smoother dough and better consistency in the baking process.

- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before shaping it into wreaths. This makes the dough easier to handle and helps the cookies keep their shape while baking.

- Bake the cookies on parchment paper to prevent them from sticking to the baking sheet and to make cleanup easier.

- Decorate the cookies with green and red sprinkles or icing to enhance their festive appearance.

- Store the cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crispy for longer.

Christmas wreath cookies are not only a tasty addition to your holiday treats but also a fun and decorative way to celebrate the season. With a simple recipe and a few key tips, you can bake these delightful cookies with ease and impress your loved ones with your festive baking skills. Enjoy the process and, most importantly, savor each bite of these delicious cookies.
