Tips:

  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling helps to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven. This results in thicker, chewier cookies.
  • Use a cookie scoop: Using a cookie scoop to portion the dough ensures that all of the cookies are the same size and shape. This helps them bake evenly.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown: Overbaking will dry out the cookies. You want them to be slightly soft in the center, with just a hint of golden brown around the edges.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before decorating: This will help to prevent the decorations from smudging or running.

These Holly Christmas cookies are a delicious and festive way to celebrate the holiday season. They are easy to make and can be decorated in a variety of ways to suit your taste.
