🍪 Christmas Sugar Cookie Bites 🍪

Savor the festive cheer with every bite! Perfect for holiday gifting or a delightful treat for your family gatherings.

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- Christmas-themed sprinkles (for decorating)

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually blend these dry ingredients into the butter mixture, stirring just until the dough comes together.
4. Roll the dough into small 1-inch balls and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Gently press down on each ball to slightly flatten. Embellish with festive sprinkles.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges turn a light golden color. Be cautious not to overbake to maintain a soft and chewy texture.
6. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
