(Egg Free) Christmas Cookies

• Daddy and Ethan made special no-egg Christmas Sugar Cookies together. They had fun decorating the trees with different colored sprinkles to look like ornaments on the trees. They turned out really cute (and yummy).
• ---------------------------------

Fluffy Eggless Sugar Cookies

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 pinch salt
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 1/8 cup sugar

Directions:

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 350°F
2. 2
   Combine butter and sugar in a bowl, and mix until it gets lighter and fluffier. (Either microwave the butter for about 45 seconds or make sure it's soft enough to whisk).
3. 3
   Add vanilla and milk to butter/sugar mixture. (You can be flexible with the amount of vanilla you use).
4. 4
   Combine salt, flour and baking powder in a separate bowl.
5. 5
   Combine the dry and wet ingredients, using either a spatula or your hands. (Dough should be a little bit sticky at this point).
6. 6
   Add extra flour as needed until dough becomes less sticky (I used about 3 T.) You don't want dough to be too tough or sticky.
7. 7
   Form 12 equal-sized balls, flatten to about 1/2 - 2/3 inch in thickness. Coat one side with sugar. (Lay about 1/8 Cup sugar on flat surface and lay each flattened ball of dough on it, pressing gently).
8. 8
   Bake for 8-10 minutes, until bottom is lightly golden.

• I lost the recipe we used last year, so this year we chose a fluffy recipe and did a cookie mold instead of rolling out and cutting out cookies. These were just as good as the other type and soft and chewy.
