Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Christmas-themed sprinkles (for decorating)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until fully combined.
- Mix in Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Form the Cookie Bites: Roll the dough into small 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Press each ball down slightly to flatten it. Decorate the tops with festive sprinkles.
- Bake the Cookies: Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake to keep the cookies soft and chewy.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cookie bites to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For added color and fun, divide the dough and add food coloring to create different shades of red, green, and white for the holidays.
- These cookie bites store well in an airtight container for up to a week, making them perfect for gifting or preparing ahead of time.
