Soft Christmas Cookie
Making Christmas cookie recipes is one of my favorite parts of the holidays. For a delicious but simple cookie try making the Soft Christmas Cookie recipe into a batch, they're so good.
Notes
A stand mixer works best. Most hand mixers don't have the power to work with this much cookie dough. If using a hand mixer, add the last bit of flour by hand.
If you use jumbo eggs or are baking in a hot, humid kitchen, reduce yolks to 6.
