Delicious cutout cookies with a rich buttery flavor, perfect for decorating and sharing with friends and family during holidays or special occasions.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix oleo, sugar, egg, and flavoring until well combined.
- Sift flour and baking powder together and add to the mixture.
- Chill the dough until firm.
- Roll out the dough thinly on a floured surface.
- Cut into desired shapes and bake at 375°F for 8 minutes or until brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using vanilla or almond extract as the flavoring. If you don't have oleo, unsalted butter works well as a substitute. Ensure the dough is chilled thoroughly before rolling; this will make it easier to cut into shapes. If the dough becomes too warm while working, return it to the fridge for a short time to firm up again.
Serving Suggestions
These rolled cookies are perfect for decorating with icing or sprinkles, making them ideal for festive occasions. Serve alongside a warm cup of Yuletide Egg Nog for a delightful treat. They also pair well with a scoop of ice cream or crumbled into a dessert bowl for a fun twist. Enjoy them at family gatherings or holiday parties.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour, but the cookies may have a denser texture. To maintain a lighter texture, consider using half all-purpose and half whole wheat flour. This way, you'll still get the nutritional benefits of whole grains without compromising too much on texture.
How can I make these cookies more festive for a holiday party?
To add a festive touch, consider using holiday-themed cookie cutters and decorating them with colorful icing or edible glitter. You can also add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough for a seasonal flavor. These cookies are perfect for sharing during the holidays and can be packaged nicely as gifts.
What if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough is too sticky to roll out, try adding a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a workable consistency. Alternatively, chilling the dough for an additional 30 minutes can help firm it up. Make sure to flour your work surface and rolling pin to prevent sticking during the rolling process.
