Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Light brown sugar
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Holiday-themed sprinkles
• 0.25 cup Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer on medium speed (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 4

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fully combined. Follow with the vanilla extract, mixing well.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.

Step 6

Fold in the holiday-themed sprinkles gently to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a medium cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion the dough into balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 8

If desired, lightly sprinkle additional holiday sprinkles on top of the cookie dough balls for extra festivity.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden, but the centers remain soft.

Step 10

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Step 11

Optional: Once cooled, dust the cookies lightly with powdered sugar for a snowy, holiday-like appearance.

Step 12

Serve the Christmas Pajas Cookies with a glass of milk, hot cocoa, or your favorite holiday beverage. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
