Servings: 30 cookies
Calories: 120kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter softened
- 3/4 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 teaspoon Almond Extract optional
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using), and mix well.
- Gradually add the flour and salt to the wet mixture, stirring until the dough comes together. Avoid over-mixing.
- Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe swirls onto the baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until the edges turn golden. Let them cool completely on the baking sheets.
- Once cooled, dip half of each cookie into the melted chocolate. Sprinkle with festive red, green, and white sprinkles.
- Allow the chocolate to harden by letting the cookies sit at room temperature or refrigerating them briefly. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or freeze for up to a month.
Notes
To preserve the freshness of the cookies, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze them for longer shelf life. Ensure they are properly sealed to retain their flavor and texture.
