Ingredients
Scale
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (room temperature)
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- Food coloring (optional)
- Sprinkles or icing for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time and mix in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined.
- If desired, divide the dough and mix in food coloring to achieve different shades. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick and cut into festive shapes using cookie cutters.
- Place the cut-out cookies on parchment-lined baking sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Allow cooling on wire racks before decorating with icing or sprinkles.
