Christmas Swirl Sugar Cookies instructions

In a bowl cream together the butter and sugar. After a couple of mins, add the eggs.
And the vanilla and mix well.
In a seperate bowl, combine the flour, salt and baking powder. Mix it well and slowly.
Add it to the egg butter mixture little at a time. Mix until the dough is smooth.
And all the flour is fully incorporated.
I then wrapped the dough ball in some cling wrap and placed it in the fridge for an hour.
Once out of the fridge, divide it into two dough balls and place in two seperate bowls.
In one add red and the other green. You can go dark or light as you want, as you can see I went.
For the darker shade :).
On a lightly floured (and clean haha) surface, roll out each dough ball seperately to a 1/4inch thickness.
With a pastry brush I applied some water on one layer (doesn't matter which really). To easily transfer the other layer onto this one, roll it around the rolling pin and then transfer so you don't rip the dough. I applied the water to help it stick together.
Trim the edges so it looks nice and clean and then its time to bring out the sprinkles! YAY.
I brushed the dough log with the water and then rolled them in sprinkles, if you want to stick to the christmas theme go with red, green and white, I couldn't find them on the day I was baking these!.
Wrap the dough again in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30mins.
Preheat the oven to 180C.
Once chilled, slice the dough into your desired thickness and place them on a baking sheet covered.
With baking paper.
Bake for 8-10mins... When the cookies no longer look 'wet' they are ready to be pulled out!.

If glaze is still too stiff/dry, add another Tablespoon of milk. Santa's Swirl Sugar Cookies, Christmas cookies, Christmas Sugar Cookies, Slice and Bake cookie recipe.
