No Christmas season is complete without sugar cookies! I'm one of those people who has to have just THE right sugar cookie recipe or I hate making them. Some say I'm nuts cause a sugar cookie is a sugar cookie. I say, no sugar cookie is created equal. Am I right?
I'm so in love with these! I know, I know. I was saying earlier that I'm not a big fan of Christmas cookies......unless it's a good one! And these SO are! Yummy, moist, the perfect cookie for cutting into Christmas trees, bells, stars, or whatever you want!
I only make these at Christmas time. While listening to Run Run Rudolph by Luke Bryan. MUST be Luke Bryan. This is strictly traditional.
Make sure you get the kids to help! Not just the little kids either, grab the big boys, girls, and adults, give them some cookies and frosting and watch the fun begin! A perfect family Christmas project.
Sugar Cookies
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/4 cup organic sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
Beat together the sugar and sugar until smooth. Add the egg, then stir in the vanilla. Add the flour and baking soda and powder. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours.
Roll out to desired thickness, cut with desired shaped cutters, and place on a greased cookie sheet.
Bake at 375 degrees for 8 minutes or until lightly browned. Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before removing to a wire wrack to cool completely. Then frost away!
