Ingredients:
For the cookies:
2 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the frosting:
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Food coloring of your choice
Instructions:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, using a handheld or stand mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
Gradually add in the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms. Divide the dough into two equal parts, flatten into discs, and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out your desired shapes and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. If the frosting is too thick, add more milk. If it's too thin, add more confectioners' sugar.
Divide the frosting into separate bowls and add food coloring of your choice to create different colors. Decorate the cookies with the frosting and let them set for 30 minutes before serving.
Tips:
Make sure to chill the dough before rolling it out to prevent it from sticking to the rolling pin.
For a more festive touch, add some sprinkles to the cookies before baking.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Now that you have the recipe for these delicious soft Christmas cut out cookies, it's time to get baking!
