Make the best eggless Christmas sugar cookies with this easy recipe. Perfect for cut-outs and festive decorations, they’re a holiday favorite for all ages!
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 2 cups butter softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl beat together the butter and sugar until light and creamy.
- Add in the milk and vanilla. Beat well.
- Stir in the flour and salt and mix well.
- The dough will be a bit loose at this stage. Divide it into 5, 1 cup portions. Using some flour form the dough into logs about 7-8 inches long (see My Notes). Wrap it in plastic wrap or parchment paper and cool it in the fridge for at least an hour before baking.
- After an hour remove one log at a time from the fridge (See My Notes). Meanwhile preheat the oven at 350F/180C. Slice the log to about ¼-inch for each cookie, decorate it with sprinkles, colored sugar, etc. Place it on a lightly greased baking sheet about an inch apart and bake for about 7-9 minutes.
- Remove the sheet out of the oven. Let it cool completely on a wire rack before storing it in an air tight container.
Notes
- I followed the recipe and did 10 inch logs and felt that the cookies were too small in diameter making it difficult to top it with sprinkles. So I suggest that you can stop it with just 7-8 inches log
- Also remove one log at a time from the fridge so that the dough will not loosen up and you can slice it easily without the dough sticking to the knife and also get thick, even slices.
