How to Make Martha's Blue Ribbon Sugar Cookies Christmas
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated 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 powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in the orange zest.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours). This helps prevent the cookies from spreading.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes. Place cookies onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Rotate baking sheets halfway through.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cool, decorate as desired with frosting, glaze, sprinkles, or colored sugar.
