How to Make Christmas Time Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
  3. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, and 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, creaming on low speed after each 1/4 cup addition until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in 1 large egg and 1/2 cup milk until just combined.
  6. Cover the bowl and chill the dough for at least 15 minutes (or up to 30 minutes).
  7. Lightly flour a clean work surface. Roll out the dough to 1/4-inch thickness.
  8. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes. Place cookies onto ungreased baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Decorate as desired!
