Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
-
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
-
Divide the dough into two equal portions. To one portion, add the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger. Mix until the spices are evenly incorporated.
-
Add a few drops of red food coloring to one portion of the dough and green food coloring to the other portion. Knead the dough until the color is distributed evenly.
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Roll out each colored dough portion separately on a floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness.
-
Use Christmas-themed cookie cutters to cut out shapes from the dough. Place the cut-out cookies onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
-
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
-
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.
-
Once the cookies are cooled, decorate them with festive sprinkles and icing if desired. Let the icing set before storing the cookies in an airtight container.
