How to Make Hanukkah Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in the chopped nuts and raisins (optional).
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/8 inch thickness.
- Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes.
- Place cookies on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy with a glass of pineapple juice!
