I think that my 2021 Christmas Cookie Collection is my most favorite ever! I had decided on a North Woods Christmas theme for this year, which brings back so many wonderful Minnesota Christmas time memories! So much fun to bake and decorate, and everyone loved the old-fashioned Vanilla Sugar Cookies, Chocolate Sugar Cookies, Old-Fashioned Gingerbread Cookies, and Chocolate Brownie Cookies, together with a few old favorites and new surprises!
Of all the sugar cookies in the land, everyone knows that Christmas Sugar Cookies are the most magical of all! For those times when you need a perfect Sugar Cookie that has an easy dough to roll out and work with, will hold its shape and edges, and have a wonderful surface for fun decorating, this is my go-to Sugar Cookie recipe for the softest, thickest and creamiest sugar cookies and the easiest Royal Icing. Perfectly simple and wonderful! Santa tested and Santa approved!
Sugar cookies are wonderful, but perfect Chocolate Sugar Cookies are even better! Rich in chocolate flavor, with crisp edges and tender centers, they are perfect for cut outs since they don't spread in the oven. Paired with easy Royal Icing or Easy Buttercream Frosting, they are simple and wonderful all by themselves, but even more fun when decorated with colorful Royal Icing and lots of sprinkles. It's time to get your favorite cookie cutters out!
