How to Make These Super Soft Batch Christmas Sugar Cookies
The key to achieving super soft Christmas sugar cookies is to avoid overbaking. Overbaking can turn soft cookies into hard ones. To keep your cookies soft, make sure to store them in a well-covered container to prevent drying out.
Can I Freeze This Cookie Dough?
Don’t have time to make a batch of cookies whenever the craving hits? No worries! Instead of buying pre-made cookie dough, you can make a double batch of these cookies and freeze half of the dough. You can freeze the dough as a whole batch or scoop it into balls before freezing for convenient baking later on.
Ingredients You Will Need:
- 1 1/2 cups unsalted sweet cream butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 4 1/4 cups flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 container Christmas sanding sugar
How to Make Sprinkle Christmas Sugar Cookies
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a mixer, cream together the butter and sugar.
- Add one egg at a time, mixing until smooth after each addition. Finally, add in the vanilla and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cream of tartar.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until well combined.
- Using a small ice cream scooper, scoop out dough and roll into balls. Place the dough balls on the prepared cookie sheets about 2-3 inches apart.
- Pour the sanding sugar into a large bowl and roll each dough ball in the sugar, coating it completely.
- Using the palm of your hand, lightly press down on each dough ball to flatten slightly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 11-13 minutes or until lightly browned. The cookies will be slightly undercooked.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely before enjoying them with a tall glass of milk!
