STEPS FOR CHRISTMAS SUGAR COOKIES :

STEP 1

INGREDIENTS

For making a Christmas sugar cookie, you need to add 12 cups plus 6 tablespoons of all-purpose flour to the food processor before preheating the oven to 170 °C for the first time. 12 cups powdered sugar, one yolk (only the yolk will be used), half a teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt Add 75 grams of butter; we recommend using unsalted butter so we can control the flavor for the best results.

STEP 2 FOR CHRISTMAS SUGAR COOKIES

PREPARATION FOR THE BUTTER

The butter for making Christmas sugar cookies should be soft but not so soft that it’s greasy, You can just put the butter in the microwave for five seconds. Roughly to get a nice texture, now just process all the ingredients in a food processor together until they form a smooth paste, scrape the bottom and sides as needed, and process again. The ingredients are just blended.

STEP 3 FOR CHRISTMAS SUGAR COOKIES

PREPARATION FOR THE DOUGH

You don’t need to blend them too much, or else the dough will be really crumbly, and if it’s crumbly, add a tablespoon of water or milk to make it softer, and it’ll be even better. This is why it looks a little crumbly; we’re making a mixed version.

So add a tablespoon of water, and it will fix everything, Once you do, just knead everything together, form a nice big bowl, and once that bowl is shaped, just wrap it in Saran or wrap it in plastic, put it in the fridge for about 1-2 hours.

STEP 4 FOR CHRISTMAS SUGAR COOKIES

How to Freeze Christmas Sugar Cookies

So they can be put in the fridge with the cookie dough chilled, so the cookies won’t spread out, and they’ll have really nice edges. After the dough has cooled for about 1-2 hours, you can take it out and divide it into two parts. You will knead them together, then pour some flour on the bottom and on the top, and roll it out.

As much as possible, you can also use two pieces of parchment paper, shape the dough into a rectangle using your hands, and then, using a rolling pin, start in the center and start rolling the dough away from your body, rotating the dough 90 degrees every few rolls to ensure an even thickness. This will ensure that it does not stick to the ideal thickness of the roll.

The Christmas sugar cookie dough is about 1/4 inch thick because you’ve cooled your cookie dough, which will make the cookies nice and thick, which is really good. A very important tip is to dip a cookie cutter into a bowl of flour between almost every cut.

This will not only prevent the dough from sticking to the cutter, but the flour The edges of the cookie will help seal it and this will help you. You keep the cookies in the oven; you can also dump the excess flour and carefully put the cookies on the baking tray.

Therefore, you always want to keep moving the dough for Christmas sugar cookies, so don’t just put it in the cookie cutter, you have to keep it moving so it doesn’t stick to the board, These cookies should be refrigerated for about 15 minutes before baking to allow the edges to crisp.

Sitting immediately in the oven Christmas sugar cookies, the edges will be beautifully crisp, and once you get the excess dough out, you can roll it up and make more cookies with it. Bake your cookies in a preheated oven for about 10 minutes at 170°C.

HOW TO MAKE THE ROYAL ICING FOR CHRISTMAS SUGAR COOKIES :

Making royal icing is very easy. In a bowl, add 3 to 4 cups of powdered sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of lemon juice, and half an egg, so about 1 tablespoon of egg white, and mix them together, We know it’s a little tricky to mix, but you can do it. So then adding any flavor extract you like, like vanilla extract or almond extract, or whatever you like, will add a delicious taste to the cupcake cream.

DECORATE YOUR ICING FOR CHRISTMAS SUGAR COOKIES

If you find it difficult to sprinkle a little water because a little goes a long way and you can get a nice texture now, you’ll add a few drops of red food coloring and he’ll make sure my cookies are bright and red for Christmas if they come out of the cream too liquid. You can actually add more powdered sugar to make it stiffer, and if it comes out too stiff, you can add a little more water to get the consistency you want.

So cut a very small hole at the end of the piping bag so you can do whatever design you want today. You’ll just fill in the star and add some sprinkles on top. It’s a little basic, but I think it’d be really nice with the toothpicks. You’d mix the decorations together.

so it’s all something even and spreading if you want to add sprinkles to the decorating. Now is the perfect time for you to stick the icing, and you can also do this other design if you want to add another color on top.

You have to leave it a little while for the icing to dry, then add another color on top of it, And the best part about these cookies is that you can make any type of garnish you want to put on top of them from this cookie mix.
