The One Simple Holiday Cookie Recipe

This holiday cookie recipe is perfect for making with kids, as it involves lots of mixing, rolling, and of course, tasting! Gather your little helpers and let them participate in each step of the way.

Ingredients

• 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 ½ cups brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups chocolate chips (milk or dark, your choice!)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set this mixture aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and salt until smooth. This step is perfect for little hands to help with using an electric mixer!
4. Add in the vanilla extract and mix in the eggs, one at a time.
5. Gradually add in the flour mixture, ensuring everything is well combined. This is a great time for your kids to get involved—let them stir until there are no dry ingredients visible!
6. Fold in the chocolate chips gently; this can be a fun moment for kids to sprinkle more or less chocolate as per their preference.
7. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each for spreading.
8. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges. It’s best to keep an eye on them as they bake—who doesn’t love the smell of cookies baking?
9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once your cookies are cooled, gather around with your family and enjoy the fruits of your labor! These festive treats are best served warm with a tall glass of milk. Happy baking!
