Today is the final day of Christmas Cookie Week.....

A huge thank you to Ellen at Family Around the Table and Christie at A Kitchen Hoor’s Adventures for hosting #ChristmasCookiesWeek.   They are going to need some R&R after all the work they did this year to make this event a success.  Ellen began working months ago, lining up sponsors and arranging for a fantastic giveaway for our readers.  You can learn all about that and enter to win a prize at my Welcome Post.

Today I am featuring cookie cutters that I received from Ellen, who owns Yum Goggle.  Yum Goggle is a website that showcases recipes from food bloggers from all over the world and puts them into on location.  If you are looking for a recipe of any sort, this should be your first stop.

I'm also featuring another sponsor, Sprinkle Pop.  This company has an amazing selection of sprinkles for every season, every holiday and every occasion.  You really need to check them out.

I like making sugar cookies during this busy time of year.  Not only are they classic Christmas Cookies but they can be made in stages, whenever you have a few extra moments in a day.  You can make the dough and leave it in the refrigerator for several days if you want. 

When you find yourself with free time, take the dough out of the refrigerator, roll it, cut it out and place it in the oven.  They only need about 10 minutes to bake.  Once they are baked, let them cool and they can be kept in the freezer for up to a month before decorating.

Really short on time?  Do what I did....heat up a little white corn syrup, brush it onto the cookies and lay on the sprinkles.  No frosting.  No decorating. No hassle.

Sour Cream Cut Out Cookies

Tender, simple sugar cookies kept soft with the addition of sour cream. These cookies come together quickly, roll out easily and bake up beautifully.

ingredients

2 3/4 c. flour

3/4 t. baking powder

1/4 t. baking soda

pinch of salt

1 1/4 c. sugar

2 sticks butter, softened

1/3 c. sour cream

1 egg

1 t. almond extract

2 T. corn syrup

asst. sprinkles of choice

instructions

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

In large bowl of stand mixer, cream the butter, sugar, sour cream, egg, and almond extract until well combined.  Turn speed to low and gradually add in flour mixture, just until combined.  Divide dough in half, form into two discs, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours or up to 3 days.

Roll one dough portion, on a lightly floured surface to 1/4" thickness.  Cut into desired shapes using cookie cutters.  Place onto baking sheets lined with parchment or silicone mats and bake in a preheated 350* oven for 8-10 minutes, until the bottom of each cookie is golden brown.

Let cool on cookie sheet for 10 minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool completely.

Place the syrup in a microwave safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds on high.  Brush onto the cooled cookies, one at a time, and sprinkle with desired colored sugars or decorative sprinkles.
