Christmas Cookie Recipe

Christmas Cookies Ingredients
These are the basic ingredients you’ll need to make this soft Christmas cookie recipe:

Flour: These classic Christmas cookies start with all-purpose flour.
Baking powder: Baking powder acts as a leavener, which means it makes the cookies rise.
Salt: A pinch of salt enhances the overall flavor, but it won’t make the cookies taste salty.
Sugar and margarine: White sugar is beaten with margarine. You can use butter if you prefer.
Eggs: Two eggs lend moisture and bind the dough together.
Vanilla: Two teaspoons of vanilla extract is the perfect finishing touch.
