Christmas Sugar Cookies Recipe
- 1 whole Large Egg
- ½ cup Canola Oil
- 1 stick Butter, Softened
- ½ cup Sugar (plus a extra for sprinkling)
- ½ cup Powdered Sugar
- ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 cups plus 1 Tablespoon, All-purpose Flour
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Baking Soda
- ½ teaspoon Cream Of Tartar
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk (or water)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla flavoring (or lemon, or coconut, whatever you want your icing to taste like!)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cream together eggs, oil, butter, sugars, and vanilla in large mixing bowl.
- Add remaining ingredients, being sure to mix well.
- Cover and refrigerate dough for about one hour. (I rwrap mine in plastic wrap.)
- Roll out dough onto a floured surface (table or countertop). Dough should be ¼ to ½ inch thick, depending on how thick you like your cookies.
- Cut into shapes with any cookie cutter.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, until cookies are just barely turning brown. (Don't overbrown.) Cool completely before icing.
- Whisk ingredients together. Icing should be on the thin side. It will harden as it dries. If you want a thicker, creamier icing, just add more sugar.
