Tips for Perfect Cookies
To achieve the best results with your Christmas cookies, make sure your butter is at room temperature. Softened butter helps to create a light and fluffy texture, which is essential for the perfect cookie. If you forgot to take the butter out ahead of time, you can cut it into small pieces to speed up the softening process.
Another important tip is to avoid overmixing the dough once you add the dry ingredients. Overmixing can lead to tough cookies, so mix just until everything is combined. This will ensure that your cookies are tender and have that delightful chewiness everyone loves.
Storage and Freezing Tips
Once baked, these cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them. Place the cooled cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer them to a freezer bag. This way, you can enjoy a sweet treat anytime throughout the holiday season.
If you're looking to enjoy freshly baked cookies at a moment’s notice, you can also freeze the cookie dough. Simply scoop the dough into balls and freeze them on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer the dough balls to a freezer bag. When you're ready to bake, just pop them straight into the oven without thawing, adding a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.
