pretty little cookies

IMG_4548
There is nothing better than giving or serving a batch of homemade cookies during the holidays! I love using a simple recipe and then spending my time decorating the cookies with tiny little details.

Start with mixing up a batch of cookie dough.
Sugar cookies are my favorite to use when decorating.


Here is my go to sugar cookie recipe-



3 cups all purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature

1 cup granulated white sugar

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Refrigerate the dough for about 1 hour.



Roll out the dough and use simple cookie cutter shapes to cut out shapes and transfer to a baking sheet.


Bake at 350 degrees for about 8-10 minutes (this will all depend on the size and thickness).

Once the cookies are done baking it is time to decorate.


This is where I cut all the corners-


I use pre made frosting and add food coloring to create different colors.


There are lots of great cookie decorating products out there and I like to keep a can of frosting with different tips on hand for all those little details.


Use sugar pearls, sprinkles or your favorite little candies to decorate.
