Description
Soft and festive cookies topped with a sweet glaze and colorful sprinkles, perfect for holiday celebrations.
Ingredients
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2-3 tablespoons milk
• Red, green, and silver sprinkles
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2️⃣ In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3️⃣ Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla and almond extracts.
4️⃣ In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
5️⃣ Roll the dough into small balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space for spreading.
6️⃣ Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just slightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.
7️⃣ In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk to create a smooth glaze. Adjust the consistency as needed.
8️⃣ Dip the tops of the cooled cookies into the glaze, letting excess drip off. Immediately sprinkle with red, green, and silver sprinkles while the glaze is still wet.
9️⃣ Let the cookies set until the glaze hardens before serving or storing.
These cookies are a holiday classic, bringing joy and festive cheer to every bite! 🎅✨
