How to make Holiday Note Cookies
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat sugar and butter on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla until well combined.
-
With the mixer on low speed, gradually add flour mixture to the bowl, mixing until combined.
-
Turn the dough out onto a work surface and divide in half. Shape each piece into a flat disk. Wrap each disk tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour, until cold, or up to 3 days.
Preheat your oven to 350 °F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
On a lightly floured work surface, roll out one disk of dough to a thickness of ¼ inch (.5 cm). Using a cookie cutter, cut out shapes and carefully transfer them to the cookie sheets, space shaped cookies about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart. Reroll scraps as necessary. Repeat the process with more dough until both cookie sheets are full.
-
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Switch positions of cookie sheets halfway through, then remove when cookies are lightly browned. Let cookies cool on cookie sheets for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer cookies to wire racks to cool completely before decorating.
