Holiday Baking for Pinterest Fail Moms: Cookies for Santa

Need an easy and simple holiday baking recipe? Read below for our simple sugar cookies for Santa recipe!

Remember my last post about holiday baking with my kids? I’m back today to share another easy baking activity to share with your kids!

One of my favorite things about the holidays is all of the activities I get to enjoy with my kids. I’m not a great baker, but that doesn’t mean us Pinterest Fail Moms can’t enjoy some holiday baking with our kids! We usually have a tradition of having my cousins over for a cookie baking night. But, my oldest decided we needed to do a practice run for Santa’s cookies. And who was I to say no to a batch of fresh sugar cookies!?

Like I’ve mentioned before, I love holiday baking with Immaculate Baking Company products. They offer a huge variety of wholesome organic, natural, and gluten free products. We made a batch of chocolate brownies a few nights ago and we also love their waffle/pancake mix for brunch!

Sugar cookies are so classic and easy to make. The best part is seeing my kids cut out their favorite holiday shapes and decorate the cookies to their hearts’ desire!

Holiday Baking for Pinterest Fail Moms: Cookies for Santa

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 Box of Immaculate Baking Co.‘s Classic Sugar Cookie Mix
    • 1 Stick (1/2 Cup) Butter, Softened* (Not Melted)
      1.5 Tablespoon Water
      1 Teaspoon Gluten-Free Vanilla
      1 Egg
  • Holiday Cookie Cutters
  • Holiday Sprinkles
  • White Frosting
  • Cute Baking Assistant!

This is such an easy recipe, it’s Pinterest Fail Mom-proof!

1. Heat oven to 350°F (or 325°F for dark or nonstick cookie sheet). Stir Cookie Mix, softened butter, water, vanilla and egg in medium bowl until soft dough forms.

2. Roll out dough and use your holiday cookie cutters!

I like to use a cookie sheet to roll out my dough for sugar cookies. It’s a great space for my kids to do the cookie cutting and keeps the mess contained.

3. Bake 13 to 15 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 2 minutes before removing from cookie sheet. Cool completely.

4.) Frost your cooled cookies and sprinkle away!

And as always, don’t forget to taste test! (You want to be sure that Santa will like these cookies!)

We’re looking forward to our official holiday baking night with our family.

    This is not a fail! These cookies are so cute! They are never going to look as good as when a professional baker makes them but yours are better because they are made with love!

  3. I had never heard of the Immaculate Baking Company but they are turning up on a number of blogs including yours. I like what I see. Do you know if their products are available in Canada? I can see many applications. It’s fun for families to bake together and I can see corporate teams baking together for a recreational event. Over the Christmas holidays when I have more time, I always experiment with recipes and do more baking. I will look for this. Thank you for sharing.

  4. I LOVE Immaculate Baking Co. All of their stuff is SO good. I made their brownies the other day and almost ate the entire pan by myself. I’ll have to give these cookies a try, too!

    Sugar cookies with lots of icing are my absolute favorite this time of year. I tend to go a little overboard on the sprinkles lol!

  6. I have never thought to roll out the dough on cookie sheets, but that is such a good idea! I am going to have to go get a box of this mix.

    If there’s one thing I’ve never done in my life, it’s this—baking. Unless you count baked salmon and chicken? It’s probably because I’m not sweet-toothed, so pastries don’t appeal to me as much as to most people. One of these days, I’m going to have to learn to least knead a dough or something, though!????

    I love Christmas cooking time, and decorating cookies with fun icing and sprinkles! Such a fun tradition.
