My Top 5 Vintage Christmas Cookie Recipe Picks From 2011 Tested And Husband Approved Mid Century Menu

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

3. In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating well until fully incorporated.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth cookie dough forms.

6. Fold in the chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

7. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the dough and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each cookie.

8. Gently press down on each cookie ball with the back of a fork to create a crisscross pattern.

9. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

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

11. Repeat the process with the remaining dough until all cookies are baked.

12. Serve and enjoy the delightful flavors of these vintage Christmas cookies with a cup of hot cocoa or your favorite festive drink!
