Great Holiday Cookie Baking Recipes For The Family
There are many things that make the holidays so special. For most people, churning out batch after batch of delicious baked treats often ranks with top honors. Narrowing down your family friendly cookie baking recipes from the wide variety of choices is usually the biggest challenge.
Far and away the most popular choice for holiday cookies is the versatile sugar cookie. It can be rolled and dipped into sugar, cut into shapes for decorating, or pressed into a base for candies and jams. Sugar recipes can found on nearly every cooking site on the internet, but the basic version includes 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup butter, 1 egg, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 2/3 cup sugar, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla. Combine the wet ingredients in a medium-sized bowl until well mixed. Add the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly until the dough is smooth and dense. If you are using cookie cutters, roll the dough to a quarter-inch thickness and press with cutters. Bake in a 375 degree oven for seven minutes. Rolled dough can be dipped in sugar or cinnamon for added flavor and baked for ten minutes.
Regardless of what you do with your sugar cookie dough, you will be on the right path for a variety of holiday cookies for your family.
