How to store

 You can make or prepare all of these Christmas cookies ahead of time, and most keep well in an airtight container at room temperature for at least 3 days, up to one week.

How to freeze

 Store these cookies in an airtight container in layers divided by parchment paper, or in a freezer bag (depending on the cookies), and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Making a batch of cookies at a time and storing in the freezer is the best way to make a holiday cookie box with a variety of cookies.

Great recipe!  I just made them! Yummy!!! Although, I didn't have pistachio or cranberries - yes, unacceptable! I know, I know! Guilty! :) So, I used raisins and walnuts instead. They still came out great! This recipe is the keeper for sure! Thank you!

Actually had all ingredients already on hand and I'm so glad because these are DELICIOUS!! Thank you for this easy and delicious recipe! I will be making these again for sure.

Outstanding results, fabulous cookie.  I added 1/2 cup of white chocolate chunks to the final mix and the results were fantastic. With or without the added white chocolate, this recipe is a winner, made me look like I know what I'm doing. Thanks!

We love this Christmas cookie recipe! These cut-out sugar cookies have crisp edges and thick, soft middles. They&#039;re perfect for decorating.

Best Christmas Cookies: Easy Sugar Cookies

unsalted butter (2 sticks, softened)

almond extract

Royal Icing, coarse sugar,

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and mix to combine, then mix in the vanilla and almond extracts.

Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed until combined. The dough will be soft.

Divide the dough in half. Form each half into a ball, then flatten into a 1-inch-thick disk. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until about ¼-inch thick. If the dough is too firm to roll right away, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes, then transfer the cut-outs to the prepared baking sheets, re-rolling the scraps as necessary.

Bake, one sheet at a time, for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are just beginning to turn golden brown. The cookies will seem underdone in the middle, but they will set up as they cool. The exact timing will depend on the size of your cookie cutters.

Let cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, decorate as desired.

Makes about 30 cookies. Exact yield will vary based on the size of your cookie cutters.
