Christmas Cookies :)

This week I made some freakin awesome Christmas cookies... Or any time of year cookies. But yeah, here is the recipe.

2 cups flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

2/3 cup unsifted powdered sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter (cut in chunks)

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 tsp of food coloring of your choice

1 1/2 cup holiday sprinkles

1. With a mixer combine all the dry ingredients.
2. Add in the butter a little at a time and then add in the vanilla. Mix well.
3. Divide dough into two parts, dye one and leave one plain... Or really however you would like to do this part.
4. Flatten out each section of dough onto a piece of wax paper. Place these in the fridge for at let a couple hours.
5. Once they are ready to come our of the fridge, place one flat on top of the other. You are going to roll this up into one log. I had some difficulty with the dough falling apart on this, so I used the wax paper to help roll. I also didn't care too much about what the swirls looked like.
6. When you have your log, roll it so the outside is covered in sprinkles.
7. Slice into 1/4"-1/8" slices. Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes or just lightly golden.

Seriously, these are the best cookies ever! The best part is you can easily change it up by switching the sprinkle, colors, or even adding flavors. Enjoy everyone :)
