Today I'm excited to survive joining a grouping of bloggers for a virtual Cookie Exchange hosted past times Camila of Effortless Style. This is the adjacent best matter to us all beingness able to sit down roughly as well as much on our favorite cookies together, thus I'm anxious to run across what everyone else is sharing for the political party today, too!
I decided to portion 1 of our stand-by favorites today... Christmas Sugar Cookies but alongside a twist since I've made them Double Doozie style! You know, those delectable treats that you lot acquire at the mall? We brand our ain at home! Because all of the frosting is on the inside, these are a picayune quicker to gather than regular decorated Christmas saccharide cookies since you lot don't require to pass tons of fourth dimension making the tops expect pretty. I only add together some sprinkles to some of the tops earlier baking as well as telephone telephone it good!
If you lot don't have got a favorite, this is the saccharide cookie recipe I've been using for several years since my friend shared her recipe alongside me. It makes a soft but sturdy cookie dandy for decorating, as well as it tastes divine (I'm convinced the almond extract is the key)! I unremarkably double the recipe spell I'm at it as well as freeze 1/2 of the dough for later.

Want to know the undercover of 1 of my favorite baking shortcuts?
A 12 pound tub of buttercream frosting!!! I purchase 1 of these at Sam's in 1 trial or twice a year, unremarkably roughly this fourth dimension of yr earlier the holidays as well as several upcoming birthdays. I role it on those birthday cakes, chocolate chip double doozies, brownies... it's amazing how handy it comes inwards when I require to ship a final infinitesimal process somewhere for something (and for $16 I'd pass means to a greater extent than on the ingredients to acquire inwards myself)! ;) It doesn't require refrigeration as well as keeps for several months inwards the pantry. Sam's offers it inwards a diversity of colors- except white for some reason. I'm non certain why that is, but I purchase the lightest color I tin (usually a pale yellow) as well as only add together coloring gel to acquire the color I want. (If you lot similar the sentiment but can't role this much, see splitting some alongside a friend!)
If you lot don't wish your ain 12 pound tub of frosting, you lot tin definitely brand your ain or role a modest store bought tub for this recipe too.
I sentiment I'd piece of occupation along the subject of our gem toned Christmas decor (start this year's Christmas tour here), thus I mixed some icing inwards a diversity of colors. I like this gel nutrient coloring as well as chose a few colors to role from the set. If you've never used gel coloring before, it only takes a picayune chip as well as the colors are to a greater extent than intense than liquid nutrient coloring. They unremarkably darken a picayune chip to a greater extent than after they sit down for a spell too.
Using a 1/2 ounce scoop or 1 ounce scoop (depending on cookie size), scoop out frosting onto a cookie, as well as then lay some other cookie on exceed as well as gently crush together to spread frosting. On oddly shaped cookies it powerfulness survive necessary to spread frosting to the edges a chip earlier sandwiching cookies together.
Sometimes I similar to crush the cookies together plenty to brand the frosting ooze out the sides only a bit, as well as then embrace the edges alongside sprinkles too.
Although the cookie isn't overly sweet, the frosting within volition definitely satisfy your sugariness tooth! I mean value these would survive perfect made with mini-cookie cutters, too... seize alongside teeth sized cookies would survive only right.
You guys... I mean value I've been at this blogging matter equally good long, because only equally I was wrapping upwardly this post final infinitesimal I realized I already posted this recipe for Valentine's Day! #oops When I sentiment of doing Double Doozie Christmas Cookies for the telephone substitution today I recalled posting something similar inwards the past times but honestly sentiment I had posted nigh Chocolate Chip Double Doozies. Oh well, equally good belatedly to practice something unlike for today, I gauge I require to survive ameliorate nigh checking my archives adjacent time! #lessonlearned So, delight forgive the repeat if you lot recollect this from before, only see this a reminder to essay this yummy recipe!
Thanks thus much for joining me for the Cookie Party today! Be certain to halt past times as well as cheque out the recipes from these other talented bloggers participating today equally well-
