TWD: Holiday Sugar Cookies

Ok so it's not really the Tuesdays with Dorie recipe that we're supposed to make but I found this recipe on the Land of Lakes website and thought it'd be perfect! I used my Cookie Press again to make the cute Christmas Trees and Wreaths. Don't they look SO cute and festive? SUCH an easy recipe too!

Ingredients: (5 dozen cookies)

1 c (2 sticks) butter, softened
1/2 c sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla or almond extract
1/2 tsp salt
2 1/4 c all-purpose flour

Prep:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine all ingredients except flour in large mixer bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy (2 to 3 minutes).

2. Reduce speed to low; add flour. Beat, scraping bowl often, until well mixed (2 to 3 minutes). (If dough is too soft, cover; refrigerate until just firm enough to form cookies (30 to 45 minutes).)

3. Place dough in cookie press; form desired shapes 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
