Holiday Fun with Little Ones

Holiday Fun with Little Ones

One of our favourite holiday activities is to make cookies. It's a fun way to get little ones involved in the preparation and decoration. My daughter loves to help with mixing the ingredients, roll and play with the soft squishy dough and cutting out into beautiful shapes.

 

Here's our favourite cookie recipe from Martha Stewart:

Ingredients

  • 3/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

  • Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment. Wisk together flour and salt. In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter until fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add sugar, and continue to beat until pale and fluffy, occasionally scraping down the sides of bowl, about 2 minutes more. Beat in vanilla. Add flour mixture, and mix on low speed, scraping sides if necessary, until flour is just incorporated and dough sticks together when squeezed with fingers.

  • Turn out dough, forming into 2 disks; wrap each in plastic. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Roll out 1 disk to a 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out shapes using desired cookie cutter, and transfer to prepared baking sheets. Reroll scraps. Repeat with remaining disk. Indent cookies with desired stamps. Refrigerate until firm, at least 30 minutes. Bake until firm and golden, 13 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
