Ingredients Quantity
All-purpose flour 2 ¾ cups
Baking powder 1 teaspoon
Salt ½ teaspoon
Unsalted butter 1 cup
Granulated sugar 1 ½ cups
Brown sugar ½ cup
Egg 1
Vanilla extract 1 teaspoon
Almond extract ½ teaspoon
Powdered sugar 3 cups
Milk 2–3 tablespoons
Food coloring (various colors) As needed
Sprinkles As desired

Cooking Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This guarantees that your cookies bake evenly.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set the mixture aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Add Egg and Extracts: Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the butter mixture. Beat until fully combined.
  5. Combine Dry with Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Shape the Cookies: Scoop tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Place the balls on an ungreased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly with your palm.
  7. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are just beginning to turn golden. The cookies may appear soft but will firm up as they cool.
  8. Cool Cookies: Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and let the cookies sit on the sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Prepare Icing: In a medium bowl, mix the powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if necessary. Divide the icing into smaller bowls and add food coloring to each bowl to achieve your desired colors.
  10. Decorate the Cookies: Once the cookies are completely cool, use a piping bag or a ziplock bag with a corner snipped off to pipe the icing onto the cookies. Add vibrant sprinkles on top immediately after icing to make sure they stick.
  11. Let Set: Allow the decorated cookies to sit at room temperature until the icing hardens, which usually takes about 1 hour.
  12. Enjoy Merry & Bright Cookies: Serve your beautifully decorated Merry & Bright Christmas Cookies at holiday parties or package them up as lovely gifts. Enjoy the festive spirit!
