This Christmas one of my closest friends gave me the special gift of posting a guest blog here on PassionLocked. Â Let me say first that I want to thank you for this opportunity to share my Christmas joy as well as my business on your blog (:
My name is Christal and I am a self-taught home baker located in Atlanta, Ga. Â You can follow me on Instagram @christalscakesnbakes or contact me on Facebook at www.facebook.com/christalscakesnbakes.


I absolutely enjoy baking. Â What I love most about it is that I teach myself everything from measuring to modeling as well as sculpting to decorating. Â Today I came to share with you all an easy Sugar Cookie Recipe that will leave you looking like the baddest pastry chef (: So letâs just jump right into it!!
Christmas Sugar Cookies
1 (16.5 oz) Pillsbury Refrigerated Sugar Cookie Dough
Ÿ to ½ cup of All Purpose Flour (*see note)
*flour amount depends on how you want your texture
Icing:
4 Cups Powdered Sugar
2 Tbsp Meringue Powder
1 Tsp Vanilla
½ cup hot water
Gel icing colors
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees and thaw cookie dough until room temperature.
Step 2: In a large bowl combine the cookie dough and flour until you reach the proper consistency needed to be able to roll with a rolling pin or canned good.
Step 3: Â Roll out sugar cookie dough about Âź of an inch (cookies will spread when baking) and with a cookie cutter cut out your cookies.
Step 4: Place cookies on cookie sheet and cookie for about 8-9 minutes. Remove and allow to cool.
Step 5: Combine all icing ingredients until fully combined and smooth. Â Separate icing into however many bowls for however many colors you are making. (extra hot water may be needed to fine proper icing consistency)
Step 6: With a icing piping bag or a fine tip squeeze bottle carefully icing the cookies designing them in any way you like. Â Allow to cool after icing for about 30 minutes
DONE!

I hope that you all enjoyed this simple sugar cookie recipe. Â I hope that I was able to help you all out in the kitchen with those holiday desserts.
