Christmas Cookies is one of the holiday traditions I look forward to the most! and when we prepare the Christmas tree, we find the best cookies for Santa.Now share with us the best recipe for Christmas cookies!

Ingredients

colored sugars or sprinkles for decorating
¼ tsp. salt
2 cups flour
¼ tsp. almond extract
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 large egg yolks
⅔ cup granulated sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, softened

Method

01

Preheat oven to 350℉. I placed my cookie sheet in the refrigerator to chill, this helps to keep the dough from spreading.
02

In a small bowl stir together the flour and the salt and set aside.
03

Cream the butter and the sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks, the vanilla and the almond extract and mix just until combined.
04

Mix in the dry ingredients a little at a time until well combined.
05

Fill your cookie press with dough and press 2 inches apart onto the chilled cookie sheet. Sprinkle with colored sugar or sprinkles. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until the sides just begin to brown. Remove from oven and allow them to sit on the pan for 3 to five minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
