With a simple sugar cookie base and edible ink or icing, you can craft memorable treats that add a personal touch to your holiday table.
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| All-purpose flour | 2 ¾ cups |
| Granulated sugar | 1 cup |
| Unsalted butter (softened) | 1 cup |
| Eggs | 2 large |
| Vanilla extract | 2 teaspoons |
| Baking powder | 1 teaspoon |
| Salt | ½ teaspoon |
| Royal icing (prepared) | As needed |
| Edible markers | Assorted colors |
Cooking Steps Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes when using an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Next, add the vanilla extract and continue mixing until fully incorporated.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to guarantee the cookies remain tender.
- Chill the Dough: Gather the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Chilling the dough helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much while baking.
- Roll and Cut the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about ¼ inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes (e.g., festive tags or circles) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake the Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Keep an eye on them as baking times can vary.
- Cool the Cookies: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes. Then, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Decorate: Once your cookies are completely cool, take your prepared royal icing and use it to outline and fill the cookies. Allow the icing to set slightly for a few minutes.
- Personalize with Names: Once the icing has set, use edible markers to write the names of your guests on each cookie. Be creative with colors and styles for each individual.
- Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the decorated cookies on a festive platter, and let your guests enjoy these personalized treats throughout the celebration!
