Weight Watchers Holiday Sugar Cookies Recipe
Weight Watchers Holiday Sugar Cookies Recipe. The classic Christmas cookie that’s loved by all! They are one of my favorite Christmas cookies to make. There are a lot of different variations you can make, but I always go back to the classic recipe.
They key to rolled sugar cookies, is to be sure to keep the dough chilled. Take out a portion of the dough (I work on 1/3 of the dough at a time), and keep the rest in the refrigerator until your are ready to use it. If the dough warms up, it gets sticky, and is impossible to work with.
They’re fairly easy to make and always taste delicious. Plus, they’re the perfect cookies to get creative with decoration-wise! The best thing about sugar cookies is that they can be dressed up or down. You can frost them with sprinkles and icing for a special occasion, or leave them plain to enjoy anytime.
You can use this recipe for any occasion by changing the decorations. They’re great for Valentines Day, Easter, or as an everyday dessert.
They’re made with flour, nutmeg, Neufchatel cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, egg, milk, and colored sugar. Whip them up in your KitchenAid, for easy prep.
It’s time to start baking!
