Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Assorted food coloring
• Sprinkles and edible decorations

Instructions:

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt

In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until the dough forms

Divide the dough into equal parts based on the number of colors you want to use

Add a few drops of food coloring to each portion of dough and knead until the color is well distributed

Wrap each colored dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes

Preheat the oven to 350F 175C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper

Take a small amount of each colored dough and roll it into small balls

Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet and gently press down to flatten slightly

Add sprinkles and edible decorations on top of each cookie to make them look like Christmas presents

Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden

Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely

Once the cookies are completely cooled, you can place them in decorative boxes to create your Christmas Present Cookie Boxes

Share the joy with your loved ones or give them as thoughtful Christmas gifts
