How to Make Rudolph S Christmas Sugar Cookies

  1. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 15 minutes (this helps prevent spreading during baking).
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to 1/4 inch thickness.
  8. Use a 3-inch round cookie cutter to cut out cookies. Place cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Using your thumb and forefinger, gently pinch opposite sides of each cookie about 2/3 of the way down to create the reindeer face.
  10. Break off small curved pieces from the sides of each cookie to form antlers.
  11. Press the bottom of one set of antlers onto each side at the top of each reindeer face.
  12. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  13. Remove from oven and let cool for 1 minute on the baking sheets.
  14. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
  15. Once cool, press two mini chocolate chips onto each cookie for eyes and one red cinnamon candy for the nose.
