Tis the Season for Christmas Cookies!

I finally found the best Christmas sugar cookie recipe and I have to share! No fussy "leave it in the fridge for 20 hours" business. These are simple, quick, and delicious. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup unsalted butter, very soft
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

*I doubled this recipe and it worked perfectly.

Directions:
1. Turn on the Christmas music!

2. Turn on the Christmas tree!

3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

4. In a bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside. I really stir everything well, so that it looks like it's been hand-sifted. I think well-sifted flour makes the best desserts. Thank you, Gran Peggy for teaching me that!

5. In an electric blender, cream together on the lowest and slowest level, the very softened butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients one cup at a time.

6. Use the Tablespoon to scoop the dough and roll into balls to place onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Sprinkle dough with red and green-colored sugar to get festive before placing into the oven!

7. Bake 10-15 minutes based on your soft-to-crispy cookie preference. Let stand on a cookie sheet until cooled. Yum!
