YIELDS: 4 Servings    PREP TIME:0 HOURS 10 MINS    TOTAL TIME:2 HOURS 30 MINS

Recipe from Delish

INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS

1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and clear room for baking sheet in the freezer. In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment on low speed, cream cold butter until it begins to lose its shape, 30 to 40 seconds. Add sugar and brown sugar and continue to cream for 60 seconds more, until no large butter pieces remain.
3. Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract and beat until incorporated. Gradually add flour mixture and beat to combine. When a dough has formed, add in 1½ cups of chocolate chips and beat just long enough to distribute the chips.
4. In a medium bowl, add the remaining 2 cups of chocolate chips. Portion large balls of dough, about 6 ounces (or ¾ cup) each. One by one, roll each ball in the bowl of chips, leaving the bottom bare. Lightly press chocolate chips into each dough ball and fill any large gaps with more chocolate chips.
5. Place balls of dough on a prepared baking sheet and freeze for 90 minutes. When nearing the end of the 90 minutes, preheat the oven to 375ºF. Before baking, sprinkle each cookie with a pinch of flaky salt, then pile ½ tablespoon of chocolate chips on top of each ball of dough.
6. Bake until cookies are golden around edges but still pale in center, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cookies cool completely before serving.

Recipe from Delish

INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 375º with racks in the upper- and lower-third positions. Using an electric mixer, beat butter, sugar, and salt on medium speed until pale, about 1 minute. Add egg yolks, one at a time, followed by vanilla and bourbon, beating well after each addition.
2. Stir flour into butter mixture with a rubber spatula until just combined and no dry patches remain.
3. Working in batches, load cookie dough into a spritz cookie press according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Press cookies onto very clean, ungreased cookie sheets, about 1″ apart.
4. Lightly beat egg white in a small bowl. Just before baking, brush cookies with egg white and sprinkle with sanding sugar.
5. Bake cookies two trays at a time until firm to the touch and lightly golden on the edges, 16 to 18 minutes, rotating pans halfway through. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Repeat with remaining cookie dough, cleaning and drying cookie sheets in between batches.

by Canada Goose Gallery

Christmas Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

YIELDS: 18    PREP TIME:0 HOURS 5 MINS    TOTAL TIME:2 HOURS 45 MINS

Recipe from Delish

INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS

1. In a large bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugars, and eggs until well combined. Pour into dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
3. Preheat oven to 350° and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment. Place powdered sugar in a small bowl. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough and roll into a ball. If dough is too sticky, wet your hands slightly to help roll dough. Roll dough into powdered sugar, coating well, and then place on prepared baking sheet 2” apart. After rolling all the dough in powdered sugar, roll each piece again in powdered sugar. This will help get a more dramatic crinkle when the cookies bake.
4. Bake cookies until cookies puff and crack, about 14 minutes. The edges will just be set, but the cracks will still look slightly underdone. Let cool on baking sheet.

Christmas Royal Icing for Sugar Cookies, “The Greatest of these” P. Buckley Moss Ornament, and Solemate Socks for warmth!

by Canada Goose Gallery

Christmas Royal Icing for Sugar Cookies

YIELDS:3 cups

PREP TIME:0 HOURS 5 MINS

TOTAL TIME:0 HOURS 10 MINS

INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS

1. In a large bowl, using a hand mixer (or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment), beat meringue powder and water until frothy and starting to stiffen. Add powdered sugar and beat until smooth and thick. Add more water 1 tablespoon at a time, as needed. Icing should hold its shape without being too stiff to work with. Add desired food coloring and beat until well incorporated.
2. To thin icing for flooding, add water 1 teaspoon at a time until desired consistency is reached. It should hold its shape for a couple of seconds when drizzled on top of the icing and then start to slowly melt into itself.
