The Christmas season is usually filled to the brim with family gatherings, the hustle and bustle of last minute gift shopping, the friendly competition to hang more lights than your neighbors, time spent listening to Christmas songs and decorating the tree, and, most importantly, food. Between traditional Christmas dinners and endless office holiday parties, it's almost impossible to celebrate the season without putting on a few pounds of Christmas cheer, just like jolly ol’ St. Nick. Whether it’s the honey glazed ham, the fruit cake, the egg nog, or the cookies that get you, this is the time of the year where you just stop counting calories and start counting good times and happy memories.
Along with other traditional icons of the Christmas season—the tree, the presents, the manger scene, and the jolly bearded fat man himself, accompanied by his flying reindeer—homemade cookies help us to remember some of the best times of our lives, spent with the ones we love. In these free holiday dessert videos, learn how to bake Christmas sugar cookies. Our expert will walk you through this simple recipe, with step-by-step instructions for creaming the sugar, adding vanilla, eggs, and flour, kneading and shaping the dough, cutting out the cookies, baking tips, and how long to let the cookies cool.
Merry Christmas.
