Christmas Sugar Cookies
Honestly, there's no better time of the year to make sugar cookies than during the holidays. These light and airy cookies are made with a bit of citrus, which is perfect for winter. And when topped with a royal icing, they're a festive treat!

INGREDIENTS
For the cookies:
- 1 cup butter, room temperature
- 2 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 2 tsp orange zest
- 1 1/2 tbsp orange juice
- 3 cups flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
For the royal icing:
- 3 oz egg whites (about 3 egg whites)
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla powder (or vanilla extract)
INSTRUCTIONS
For the cookies:
- In an electric mixer, cream the butter and cream cheese until smooth, 1-2 minutes. Add the sugar and cream until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes. Mix in the egg, orange zest, orange juice, vanilla, and almond extract. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well and scrape the bowl to ensure everything is incorporated.
- Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap. Chill for at least 30 minutes or overnight. The dough may also be frozen for up to one month.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Once well chilled, roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/4- to 1/2-inch thick and cut with desired cookie cutters. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets. Place in the preheated oven and bake until slightly puffed and just beginning to turn golden, 10-14 minutes.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes. Transfer to cooling racks and cool completely. Frost with favorite icing or try royal icing (instructions below).
For the royal icing:
- Mix the egg whites, 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar, and vanilla powder together until smooth. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of powdered sugar until the frosting is thick and like a ribbon when pouring out.
- Separate into bowls and color with food coloring.
- Use pastry bags or a plastic cookie decorating bottle to decorate the cookies.

How to Make No Spread Sugar Cookies
Full Recipe:
I used to get SO FRUSTRATED by sugar cookies that turned into big blobs when baking. All that time basically wasted becasue if your maple leaf, christmas tree, or snowflake looks like some sad puddle, what's the point??!
This recipe changed everything! You're basically trading out some flour for coren starch and the result is magical.✨No spreading and teh taste is great! I do chill my dough for ease of handling and cutting but it doesn't turn into a soupy mess at room temperature, which is great. ????
I've decorated these cookies in so many different ways. Dipping them in chocolate, piping buttercream roses and orchids on tip and even laminating different colors together to get striped cookies! If you have any questions leave a comment below!

The Best Sugar Cookies to Decorate with Royal Icing (No Spread!!)
If you´re curious to see how I make my cookies, and how they keep their shape, well look no further! I use a common recipe but have made a few simple tweaks to make these delicious, no spread cookies a sure hit!
My favourite part is that it calls for brown sugar (I prefer using dark brown sugar), it gives it so much flavour and a beautiful golden colour. These cookies are great for decorating with royal icing as they can be handled and transported easily without worrying that you´ll break them but still maintain a softer bite! They aren´t too sweet, so once they are iced, they taste amazing. And if you're scared of too much puff, you can reduce the amount of baking powder from 1tsp as said in the video to 1/2 tsp.
The changes I've made to the recipe:
- add dark brown sugar instead of golden brown sugar
- add 2 teaspoons of butter emulsion flavouring in addition to the vanilla
- add 1/2 to 1 teaspoons of baking powder instead of 1/4
Watch until the end so you can get all the tips I´ve learnt to get those perfect cookies.
The recipe is by Lila Loa (with a few tweaks of my own) and can be found here:
