Christmas Sugar Cookies Recipe with Easy Icing - Sally's Baking
November 25, 2022 - These are fan-favorite cut-out Christmas sugar cookies! My recipe for sugar cookies promises flavorful cookies with soft and thick centers, slightly crisp edges, and flat tops for decorating. The dough comes together with 7–8 simple ingredients, and the cookies hold their cookie cutter shape in the oven. Decorate them with my easy glaze cookie icing, a wonderful alternative to royal icing.

Share your must make Christmas cookie recipe!
I make these every christmas, these and pickled herring is what my childhood holidays tasted like. Swedish butterhorns 2 sticks butter, softened 1 egg yolk 3/4 cup sour cream 2 cups flour Mix first three ingredients, gradually add flour until you have a very sticky dough. Divide into 3 balls, wrap in wax paper and flatten, chill for a couple hours. (Dough freezes great at this stage so I usually double the recipe and keep some for later. ) Roll out into a circle, cut like a pizza into long wedges. Sprinkle with mixture of sugar, cinnamon and chopped walnuts. Roll up into crescent shapes. Bake for 25-30 minutes in 375 degree oven. After they've cooled, drizzle with glaze made from powdered sugar, vanilla extract and a teeny bit of hot water. Try not to eat them all in one sitting. More on reddit.com

Easy Christmas Cookies for Kids (So Fun Cut-Outs!)
December 9, 2024 - With a dough that doesn’t require any electric equipment—just a bowl and clean hands!—and a super straight-forward method that’s ideal for doing together, these are our go-to cut-out Christmas Cookies for kids. Every year when the holidays are in sight, we make at least one batch of cut-out cookies. (Okay, usually we make a few batches!) And this recipe, which doesn’t require a hand held mixer or stand mixer, is our favorite recipe to make together. I love that the dough is forgiving and is hard to mess up, and that it rolls out easily without a ton of chilling (or any if you want to just fast forward the recipe a little).
