Christmas Party Cookies Recipe

Posted on

Guess what? I found this totally awesome AI-generated image of Christmas cookies – and oh boy, it’s like a wild cookie party in a picture! 🕺💃🤣 It was so quirky and cute that I just had to try making them myself. So, I put on my chef hat (imaginary, of course!) and got to work.

Ingredients:

  1. 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  2. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  3. 1/4 teaspoon salt
  4. 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  5. 1 cup granulated sugar
  6. 1 egg
  7. 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  8. Food coloring (red, green, gold)
  9. Edible decorations (sprinkles)

Instructions:

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  3. Form the Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring until a cohesive dough forms.
  4. Chill the Dough: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.
  5. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Roll and Cut: On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use festive cookie cutters to cut out shapes like stars, Christmas trees, and gingerbread people.
  7. Bake: Place cookies on a lined baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden.
  8. Cool and Decorate: Allow the cookies to cool completely. Then, use colored icing to decorate them. Add details like musical instruments to the gingerbread people to create a party scene.
  9. Add Final Touches: Use edible decorations to give your cookies an extra festive look.

Tips:

  • Food Coloring: Mix the food coloring into the icing to create vibrant colors that match the party theme.
  • Marzipan Instruments: Shape tiny instruments from marzipan for a unique touch. Attach them to the gingerbread people with a bit of icing.
