How to Make Holiday Sugar Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Roll the balls in granulated sugar.
- Place sugar-coated balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Flatten each ball gently using a glass dipped in granulated sugar or the edge of a meat tenderizer dipped in sugar for decorative patterns.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Keep a close eye on them as they bake quickly.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
