When I think Christmas, I think Sugar Cookies

I think Memories

Moments like this with my daughter, 3 years ago…

My mom always made batches and batches of these Christmas cut-outs. Maybe because they always seemed to disappear too fast. Maybe because they freeze so well and can be made months ahead of time. Maybe because they seem to take so much work, it’s better just to make enough to last all season in one setting. Whatever the reason, you’re going to want to make a lot. We get comments every year about how good these things are. This recipe is actually the doubled version, because we gave up on one batch long ago. Make them and freeze or let them cool and frost before freezing. Keep them in the freezer and take out what you need in small portions. They taste just as good as the moment you made them and un-thaw very quickly.

Sugar Cookies

1 Cup Butter (Softened)
1 Cup Sugar
2 Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla
2 3/4 Cups Flour
3/4 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder

Mix wet ingredients together well, then slowly add the dry
Chill for 3 hours or overnight
Spread flour on counter and cover rolling pin with flour
Roll out nice and thin – too thick and they will not hold their shape
Cut out shapes using your favorite cookie cutters
Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes on an ungreased cookie sheet until golden
Makes approximately 2 1/2 dozen

 

For yummy butter cream frosting: I mix a 1/2 stick of softened butter with confectioners sugar, a tad of vanilla and maybe half a cup of milk. Sorry I don’t have the actual recipe on me. I dump sugar and milk together till I get the consistency I want! Then add food coloring.

For an even creamier option, some years I have switched it up and made these:

Sour Cream Cookies

2 Eggs, Beaten
2 Cups Sugar
1 Cup Sour Cream
3/4 Cup Shortening
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Lemon Extract
5 Cups Flour

Mix ingredients together well, adding flour last. Roll dough to about 1/4 inch thickness and cut out with cookie cutters. Bake at 350 degrees on an ungreased cookie sheet for 10 to 12 minutes. Enjoy!

 Now it’s your turn.
What are your favorite cookies to make for Christmas?
