🎄🍪 Mini Soft Christmas Sugar Cookies 🍪🎄
Ingredients:
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla extract
1½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup Christmas sprinkles
Directions:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream the Butter and Sugar: Beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
Add the Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and alcohol-free vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Make the Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined. Fold in the Christmas sprinkles.
Chill the Dough: Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to make it easier to shape and help the cookies stay thick.
Shape the Mini Cookies: Scoop small portions, about 2 teaspoons each, and roll into balls. Place them about 1½ inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten each one slightly and add a few extra sprinkles on top.
Bake: Bake for 7–9 minutes, just until the cookies are set. Keep them pale and soft; do not overbake.
Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
