Christmas Cookies 🎅🏼 SLICE & BAKE! (Santa, boots & wreath cookies) | Holiday Cookies Recipe

Today, I am sharing how to make 3 kinds of slice-and-bake Christmas cookies: Santa, Santa boots, and wreath cookies! Last year, I made slice-and-bake Christmas tree cookies. This time, I tried to simplify the process a little bit more so that you can make them with less effort! I hope you’ll enjoy watching the tutorial!

📝 The Ingredients:
Makes about 50-55 cookies.
• Unsalted butter: 226g | 8oz (2 US sticks)
• Powdered sugar: 160g | 5.6oz
• Salt: 1/4 tsp
• Whole egg: 1
• Egg yolk: 1 (Save the egg white for egg wash)
• Cake flour: 350g | 12.3oz
• Almond flour: 70g | 2.5oz
• Colorings: Red, green, orange, and brown. (Or add any color you like!)
• Sprinkles: Your choice!
Egg wash:
• Egg white: 1
• Water: about the same amount as egg white

* All the 3 logs were about 15cm | 5.9" long and the diameter was about 4cm | 1.6". You can change the size and length as you like!
* Slice the logs with about 5mm | 0.2" intervals.

🔥 Bake at 350F/176C for about 7 mins. Turn the temperature down to 330F/165C and bake for another 7 minutes or more until the edge is slightly toasted.

*Adjust the time & temperature depending on the oven and the size of your cookies.
* Chill all the cookie dough in a fridge (preferably freezer) until right before baking so that cookies can hold nice shapes.

Merry Christmas!🎅🏼🎄🎁 I posted 3 holiday baking videos for the past 3 weeks to celebrate this season (hope you enjoyed them!!❤) and next week, we are going back to basics; I’m sharing a highly requested recipe… Stay tuned!😉

I'm totally blown away. What a talented baker.

[amyrivers]

You are talented in pastry skills and also an equally good teacher breaking down all the steps precisely and in an easy way that we can pause, do that step and play the next step and pause through every step of the process. That isn't something that everyone can do and you appear to be natural at it. Before I became terminally ill I was a school teacher and foster Mum so I've learnt to break tasks into small steps as I taught five year olds.

WOW ! This is not cookie bake. It is Art ! Thank you for sharing ! 💖

[Someone-vnce]

I thought I had pretty good Christmas cookie skills until I watched you. Holy smokes, you are a true artist! Those are gorgeous! Thank you for such wonderful instructions; you make it look easy, but I know it's not. BEST Christmas cookie video I have ever seen, and I watch a LOT of cookie videos!

[getin]

I loved making cookies like this when I was young, I'm no longer young and this looks like too much work for my old hands. Your cookies turned out lovely and I'm sure they taste delicious. I can almost smell them as they came out of the oven. Thank you💕

These cookies are so cute. Great job decorating them.

I love this video! Just found your channel and I wanted to make some cookies for my new in-laws and the rest of my husband’s family. Now I found a video I can follow! Thank you! Will be checking out your channel!! 🫶

Edit: I subscribed! I’m so excited to watch your videos and follow along! I like reducing the sugar in the cookies I make because I think they taste better when they’re not too sweet.

[hollybryant]

Another stunning recipe! Truly an artist & cookie dough is your medium! You have the patience of a Saint!

[anastasiapavitch]

Thanks for sharing your baking techniques and creative abilities! I enjoyed watching this video.

[eileenfrank]

Such a lovely video; you remove so much of the mystery for making patterned refrigerator cookies. Thank you for sharing. 🍪🥛🎅🏼

[highpsi]

So charming, and so labor intensive! You have to be very well coordinated and have patience galore to do this well!

[ericmgarrison]

I made these last night for my guests today. I am the only one who got to taste them warm AND room temp. Actually, I prefer them better today because the crumb was much nicer. But I’m sure I have many guests who wish they had been here last night to have them hot out of the oven. What beautiful cookies, what a beautiful lesson, and I must also say, what a beautiful kitchen you have. Have a wonderful new year!

[almutstarke]
