Get into the festive spirit with these classic Christmas sugar cookies! - Tastes like Home

Ingredients:

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 1/2 cups white sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 to 4 tablespoons buttermilk

Sprinkles, colored sugar, or icing for decoration (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set this dry mixture aside.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This will take about 2-3 minutes.

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until the dough comes together.

Divide the dough into two equal portions and wrap them in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour.

Roll out one portion of the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use your favorite cookie cutters to cut out shapes. Place the cookies on an ungreased baking sheet.

If you'd like, you can decorate the cookies with colored sugar, sprinkles, or icing before baking.

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden. The baking time may vary depending on your oven and the size of the cookies, so keep an eye on them to prevent over-baking.

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
