Christmas Sugar Cookies

By Wollygator

Ingredients

• 1 stick salted butter, plus 2 tbsp.
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 cup flour
• Sprinkles (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Use an electric mixer to cream the sugar and butter, whipping the two until the butter is almost white and the mixture is light and fluffy, almost like a slightly gritty frosting.

Stir in the flour.

Form the cookies into 1-inch balls, placing them about 2 inches apart on a baking sheet. Flatten them into a disc shape if you are topping with sprinkles before baking. Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden.

Decorate as desired.
