@christopherhopkins1: 🎄 Best Christmas Cookies 🎄 Ingredients: - 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened - 1 cup granulated sugar - 1 large egg - 2 teaspoons alcohol-free vanilla extract - 2¾ cups all-purpose flour - 1 teaspoon baking powder - ½ teaspoon salt - 2 tablespoons cornstarch - 2–3 tablespoons heavy cream or milk, as needed - ½ cup festive sprinkles, optional Directions: 1. Prepare the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. 2. Cream the Butter and Sugar: Beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together for 2–3 minutes, until light and fluffy. 3. Add the Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and alcohol-free vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. 4. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cornstarch. 5. Make the Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Mix just until the dough comes together. If it feels too dry or crumbly, add the heavy cream or milk 1 tablespoon at a time. 6. Chill the Dough: Divide the dough into two portions, flatten into discs, wrap, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. This helps the cookies hold their shape while baking. 7. Roll and Cut: On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough to about ¼-inch thickness. Cut into Christmas shapes such as stars, trees, bells, and gingerbread people. 8. Decorate: Transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheets. Add sprinkles before baking if desired. 9. Bake: Bake for 8–11 minutes, depending on the size of the cookies. The edges should be lightly golden while the centers remain soft. 10. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. 11. Decorate Further: Once completely cool, decorate with your favorite icing, colored sugar, sprinkles, or melted chocolate.
