Keep your kidsbusy during Christmas break baking cookies to
give as Christmas gifts. Below are some common Christmas
cookies that aren't too hard to make and are great for
Christmas sharing.
Shortbread Cookies
Shortbread cookies are classics that will melt in your mouth.
You can roll the dough out and use Christmas shaped cookie
cutters or simple roll the cookies into balls and then roll the
balls in a festive topping like crushed almonds or coconut.
These cookies are easy and fun to make.
You'll need the following:
2 cups flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 pound unsalted butter
pinch of salt
To make the cookies mix the ingredients well and then roll out
to ¼ inch thickness and use cookie cutters. Or make small balls
out of them and roll the balls in nuts or coconut. Place on a
greased cookie sheet and then flatten lightly with the bottom
of a glass
Bake at 300° F. for around 20 to 25 minutes.
Secret Kiss Cookie
These fun cookies have a chocolate kiss treat inside! 1 3/4 cups flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 bag chocolate kiss candies, unwrapped (7 ounces)
powdered sugar
Cream the butter, vanilla, and sugar. Blend in the flour. Wrap a tablespoon of the dough around a chocolate candy kiss. Place on greased cookie sheet and bake at 350° for approximately 15 minutes until the dough has set but is not brown. Then while still warm, roll each Cookie in powdered sugar.
The recipe above makes about 2 to 3 dozen cookies.
Thumbprint Cookie
This is a colorful and fun cookie that kids love to make with a thumbprint.
2 1/2 cups flour - add more if dough is too thin
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 teaspoons vanilla
Chopped nuts
Jam
Use an electric mixer and beat the butter at medium speed until creamy. Then add sugar and flour, vanilla and almond extract, blending well. Chill the dough for 2 ½ hours then form it into small balls and roll them in the nuts. Place the balls on a lightly greased cookie sheet then make an indentation with your thumb and fill it with jam. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes until firm and light brown on bottom. Bake at 300°.
