Recipe:

Get ready to embark on a sugary adventure with Silly Santa Sugar Cookies! These aren’t your average cookies; they’re the jolly ones that smile back! Start by gathering your ingredients:
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- ½ cup red and green sprinkles
Mix the flour, baking soda, and baking powder in one bowl. In another, cream the butter and sugar until fluffy like a cloud in Santa’s sack. Add the egg, vanilla, and almond extract. Combine the dry ingredients with the wet mix, then fold in those cheeky sprinkles. Shape the dough into Santa hats or silly elves and place them on a baking sheet. Voilà, they’re ready for the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes!
Next up, let’s dazzle those cookies with some Silly Santa Facial Frosting! Whip up a batch of colorful frosting using these ingredients:
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Powdered Sugar | 2 cups |
| Butter | ½ cup |
| Milk | 1-2 tablespoons |
| Food Coloring | Assorted |
Beat butter until dreamy, then gradually blend in powdered sugar. Add milk as needed for spreading consistency. Now for the fun part: color your frosting like Santa’s suit, Mrs. Claus’s apron, or the Grinch’s envy! Decorate your baked cookies with big, goofy smiles, and don’t forget to add the icing eyes that will make Santa cookies come to life!
Last but not least, let’s jazz them up with Fun Toppings! Here’s what you’ll need to create festive bling:
- Mini chocolate chips (for eyes and buttons)
- Candy canes (for a crunchy hat brim)
- Coconut flakes (for snowy beards)
- Red M&Ms (as Rudolph’s nose)
Once the frosting has set, get crafty! Use mini chocolate chips for those googly eyes and candy canes to make Santa hats look like they’re wearing glitzy headgear. Sprinkle some coconut for that snowy effect-let’s make these cookies so cute that even the North Pole would approve!

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Gather Your Ingredients! Before diving into cookie madness, let’s get everything you need easy to find. Here’s what you’ll need to make your jolly Santa cookies with a twist:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened, because Santa likes his cookies fluffy!)
- 1 cup sugar or a pinch of holiday magic (also known as powdered sugar)
- 1 egg (happy and bright, just like Santa!)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (for puffiness like Santa’s belly)
- Pinch of salt (to taste, but not too much-Santa prefers sweet over salty!)
Time to Get Mixing! In a large bowl, mix together the softened butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy. You’ll feel like an elf in Santa’s kitchen! Add the egg and vanilla and beat until well combined. Then, in a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, ensuring every bit of flour is mixed in. To make it festive, shape your dough into little Santa figures, or roll out and use cookie cutters to create holiday shapes!
| Santa’s Cookie Decorating Essentials | Use This! (and have a blast) |
|---|---|
| Red Icing | For Santa’s hat (and perhaps a few sneaky red noses) |
| White Sprinkles | To create snowy effects (or Santa’s fluffy beard) |
| Chocolate Chips | For those naughty bits (Santa has his favorites!) |
Bake and Decorate! Preheat your oven to 350°F (that’s about the same warmth as a cozy fireplace!). Spread the cookies on a lined baking sheet, leaving space for them to spread their jolly spirit. Bake for about 10-12 minutes until they’re golden brown. Allow them to cool completely-Santa can’t take a bite out of hot cookies! Once cooled, unleash your creativity with icing and toppings, making each cookie as silly as can be. Give Santa a silly smile and don’t forget to sprinkle some extra joy-after all, it’s about spreading cheer!

Q&A
Q: What makes these cookie recipes perfect for kids?
A: They’re so silly, even Santa might giggle! Kids get to mix, roll, and decorate with outrageous toppings like gummy bears in Santa hats and sparkly edible glitter. Who wouldn’t want a cookie that looks like a reindeer sneezed frosting all over?
Q: Are these recipes easy enough for little hands?
A: Absolutely! If a 4-year-old can successfully get sprinkles everywhere-oops, I mean, make a cookie masterpiece-then you’re golden! Each recipe comes with simple steps and plenty of opportunities for kids to show off their “culinary creativity” (a.k.a. snack time chaos).
Q: What are some of the over-the-top decorations we can use?
A: Think marshmallow snowmen, googly eyes for elves, and candy cane antlers! The sillier, the better. Your kitchen will look like a Christmas-themed craft shop exploded, but who doesn’t want that kind of festive flair?
Q: Is there a baking myth we should keep in mind?
A: Yes! The myth that cookies must look good to taste good. Spoiler alert: Santa’s belly doesn’t care about your cookie aesthetics-only the taste! So put on those wacky candy eyes, and let the magic happen!
Q: Can we make the cookies healthier?
A: Sure! Trade some flour for oats, or sneak in a veggie puree! Just don’t tell the kids-they might think the cookie fairy put broccoli in their treats. Remember, the silliness scales with each veggie added, so let’s keep those cookies fun!
Q: Any tips for avoiding cookie chaos?
A: Tip #1: Designate a “silly zone”-preferably outside-where sprinkles can rain down like confetti without fear of vacuuming later.
Tip #2: Embrace the mess! Consider it a holiday workout… for your broom. Your kitchen might end up looking like Santa’s workshop on a sugar high, but think of it as “authentic holiday charm.”
Q: What’s the ultimate final touch for these cookies?
A: A goofy family photo op! Once decorated, gather around and strike your best “Santa’s Little Helper” pose with the cookie creations. Bonus points if you can wear cookie-themed outfits!
Q: Will Santa actually eat these cookies?
A: You bet! If they’re sparkly, goofy, and bursting with love (and maybe a dash of cinnamon), you might just catch a glimpse of Santa belly-laughing on your roof!
Q: What’s the best part of making these cookies with kids?
A: The giggles, the bonding, the delightful chaos, and the guarantee that at least one cookie will be ugly enough to make it to the front of the display. Ultimately, the biggest reward? Memories that’ll last longer than the cookies themselves!
So roll up your sleeves, don your most festive apron, and get ready for some delightful silly baking with “Jolly Jingles!” Your kitchen-along with your holiday spirit-will thank you! 🎅🍪✨
