Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- Milk (regular, almond milk, or oat milk)
- Festive sprinkles
- Melted chocolate (for decorating)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make the dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in 2 eggs and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Chill the dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This helps the flavors meld and makes the dough easier to handle.
- Shape the cookies: Once chilled, scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the shot glasses: Once cooled, use a small round cookie cutter or a shot glass to cut out the center of each cookie, creating a shot glass shape. You may need to reshape the edges a bit for a perfect fit.
- Fill with your favorite drink: Fill each cookie shot glass with your choice of beverage. I love using milk, hot chocolate, or even a festive non-alcoholic eggnog!
- Decorate: Dip the edges of each cookie shot in melted chocolate and then into festive sprinkles for that extra holiday touch.
