A definite must for your Holiday Baking. This year I decided to make quite a few Christmas Cookies. Freezing chills the butter, and will prevent the cookies from spreading flat in the oven. You should get nice, crisp cut out edges right out of the oven, barely bigger than how you cut them: Lift off the top piece of paper and cut out the dough with your favorite cutters (try to cut the dough out with as little space between as you can, to minimize scraps).

Easy Cut Out Cookies step by step

  1. Beat margarine and both sugars together. Don't incorporate too much air so the cookies don't spread!.

  2. Add in salt and flour. Knead until dough comes together in a ball. Wrap in clingfilm and refrigerate for 30-60 min..

  3. On a well floured surface, roll out your dough carefully. Dip each cookie cutter into flour and delicately put each shape on a parchment-lined baking tray..

  4. If your dough gets sticky, pop it in the fridge again for 30 min before you continue..

  5. If your unbaked cookies get soft, refrigerate them until your oven is preheating. Then bake them at 180°C for 8 min. Sandwich cookies with jam or simply dust with powdered sugar. Enjoy :).

To decrease the chance of the cookies spreading too much, pop the baking sheet with the cut-outs into the fridge for a few minutes before sliding them into the oven. Cut out with Christmas cookie cutters of your choice. Using a floured spatula, transfer cookies to greased baking sheets. Decorate cookies with frosting and colored sugars. These get topped with an even easier royal icing!
