It's Christmas Eve!

What if I tell you the best cookie recipe I’ve perfected so far is only 4 ingredients and you probably have them all on hand right now? 

These are sure to wow Santa tonight, let’s get baking!


You’ll need:

• 1/2 cup butter at room temperature (1 stick)
• 1/4 c sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 c all purpose flour
• Optional-toppings of your choice-these are delicious plain but can also be jazzed up with sparkly decorating sugar, chocolate chips, or even sprinkles

Method:
Preheat oven to 325F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl cream the butter, sugar, and vanilla with a hand mixer for approximately 2 minutes. It will start to look like buttercream.

Now with a spatula slowly add in the flour. At this point the dough will be soft. I always pop it in the fridge for a few minutes to make it easier to work with.

Roll the dough into walnut-sized balls and space them out on the cookie sheet, they will spread a bit. Push the dough down with you fingers slightly. Now’s the time to add your toppings if you choose.

Bake approximately 12-14 minutes until slightly browned. Let them sit on the cookie sheet for a minute or two until they harden slightly and are easier to handle. Now it’s time to enjoy! Try to eat just one, hehe. Bon Appétit!


PS-I also have to share this eye shadow palette that I’ve been loving lately. The colors are perfect for day or night, with a mix of matte, shimmer, and glitter shades. It has great color payout, doesn’t crease, and it’s scented like a sugar cookie. It is also mini sized so it fits perfectly in a cosmetic case or would be great for travel.
                                            
What do you leave out for Santa? Do you have a palette you’ve been loving? Let me know down below, I’d love to hear from you.

Wishing everyone the warmest of Christmas wishes and lots of time spent with loved ones.

Thanks for reading. :)
