You want a consistent distribution of the two ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a stand mixer, <em>beat butter and sugar together for two full minutes<\/em>. This will incorporate a lot of air into the dough and help make the cookies light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-pink-background-color has-background\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-red-color\">Tip:<\/span><\/strong>
<strong>Use room temperature butter.<\/strong> Using microwaved butter that is too warm will change the texture of the cookies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, beat in eggs and vanilla extract for about one minute or until the mixture is fluffy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mix in the flour mixture in four separate additions with your mixer on low speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-pink-background-color has-background\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-red-color\">Tip:<\/span><\/strong>
<strong>Keep mixing to a minimum at this point.<\/strong> The more time you spend mixing, the more dense your cookies will end up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dough will come to a soft but not sticky ball. <strong>Wrap it in plastic and press it down with your hands to form a one inch thick disk<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Refrigerate the dough for a minimum of ten minutes to make it easier to roll out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-preparing-and-baking\">Preparing and Baking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you&#8217;re ready to make the snowman cookies, start by preheating your oven to 375 F.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a floured work surface, roll the dough out to 1\/4 inch thickness and cut out using a 2 1\/2 inch round cookie cutter or glass of about that diameter. Dipping your cookie cutter in flour after every few cuts will keep the cutter from sticking to the dough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-pink-background-color has-background\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-red-color\">Tip:<\/span><\/strong>
<strong>Make sure that the dough stays chilled<\/strong>. If it starts to get warm, return it to the fridge to cool off for a few minutes before continuing. The cold dough will be easier to transfer to a cookie sheet and will hold its shape better during the bake.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/jenny-keller-rolling-dough-converted.jpg\" alt=\"Jenny Keller Rolling Dough\" class=\"wp-image-31631\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/jenny-keller-rolling-dough-converted.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/jenny-keller-rolling-dough-converted-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/jenny-keller-rolling-dough-converted-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/jenny-keller-rolling-dough-converted-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/jenny-keller-rolling-dough-converted-122x81.jpg 122w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/jenny-keller-rolling-dough-converted-636x424.jpg 636w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/jenny-keller-rolling-dough-converted-318x212.jpg 318w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/jenny-keller-rolling-dough-converted-428x285.jpg 428w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/jenny-keller-rolling-dough-converted-856x571.jpg 856w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/jenny-keller-rolling-dough-converted-214x143.jpg 214w, https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/jenny-keller-rolling-dough-converted-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 949px) calc((100vw - 40px) \/ 1.5), (max-width: 1280px) calc((100vw - 360px) \/ 1.5), 100vw\" \/><figcaption>This recipe from Jenny Keller has become one of my all time favorites for making Christmas cookie dough.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Using a metal spatula, transfer the cookies to a nonstick baking sheet, placing them about 3\/4 inch apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bake one sheet at a time for about 7 to 8 minutes, until the cookies are puffy.

The cold dough will be easier to transfer to a cookie sheet and will hold its shape better during baking.<\/li><li><strong>Line your baking sheets with parchment<\/strong> to avoid extra cleanup.<\/li><li><strong>Place the cut out cookie dough circles at least 1\/2 inch apart on the baking sheets<\/strong> to make sure that they don&#8217;t touch as they bake.<\/li><li><strong>When they are done, let them rest for two minutes<\/strong> on the cookie sheet before transferring them to a cooling rack.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-faqs\">FAQs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1606577133633\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How far in advance can I make Christmas sugar cookies?<\/strong>
<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">This buttercream icing will form a crust in about six to eight hours. Once that happens, store the cookies between layers of parchment paper in an airtight container for up to four days or freeze for up to one month.<br\/><br\/><em>Never refrigerate sugar cookies or they will become soggy.<\/em><\/p>
<\/div>
<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1606577173482\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I make these snowman cookies gluten-free?<\/strong>
<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes! Replace the all-purpose flour in the recipe with equal amounts of gluten-free flour (such as Bob&#8217;s Red Mill brand).<\/p>
<\/div>
<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1606668213057\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I prep the dough in advance?<\/strong>
<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The dough needs to be refrigerated for ten minutes to make it easier to roll. But, the great thing is that you can store it in the fridge for up to seven days until you are ready to use it, or freeze it for up to a month!<\/p>
<\/div>
<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1606668379903\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why aren&#8217;t my cookies done in 8 minutes like the recipe says?<\/strong>
<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Get to know your own oven. All ovens bake differently. Check the snowman cookies around six minutes to see how they are doing. If they are done, they will look puffy. If you over-bake them, they will still be great but they will be crispier.<\/p>
<\/div>
<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1606668438345\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why should I only bake one tray at a time? I have plenty of room in my oven.<\/strong>
<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Bake only one tray at a time unless you have a convection oven. Baking multiple trays at once can lead to uneven baking. And, always use the middle rack for the most even heat.<\/p>
