MOM'S CHRISTMAS COOKIES

Categories     Christmas Cookies

Time 8h50m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 11

¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup tightly packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons white sugar, divided, or as needed
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 ½ cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons milk, or more as needed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons chocolate sprinkles, or as needed

Steps:

  • Mix butter, brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon white sugar with an electric mixer until creamy. Add egg yolk and vanilla and mix until well combined. Blend in flour gradually. Cover and chill in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place remaining 2 tablespoon white sugar on a plate.
  • Remove dough from the refrigerator. Shape into small balls and place on ungreased cookie sheets. Dip a glass into the sugar and press on each ball to flatten.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, switching racks halfway through, until edges are golden, 7 to 9 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool, 8 to 10 minutes more.
  • While the cookies are cooling, mix butter and powdered sugar until blended. Mix in milk and vanilla.
  • Frost cooled cookies with frosting. Press sprinkles into the frosting while still soft.
