Serve these cookies on a festive platter with hot cocoa, eggnog, or mulled wine for a perfect holiday vibe.

Variations:
Sparkly Finish:
Before baking, roll each cookie ball in coarse sugar for extra sparkle.
Flavored Twist:
Add a teaspoon of peppermint or almond extract for a flavor upgrade.
Shape Them:
Use festive cookie cutters (like stars or trees) instead of rolling into balls.
FAQ:
Q: Can I make the dough ahead of time?
A: Yes! You can refrigerate the dough for up to 3 days or freeze it for up to 2 months. Let it soften slightly before shaping and baking.
Q: Can I use gel food coloring instead of liquid?
A: Absolutely. Gel food coloring is even better for vibrant color without changing the dough’s consistency.
Q: How do I keep the cookies soft?
A: Don’t overbake them. Take them out of the oven when the edges are set but the centers still look a little soft — they’ll firm up as they cool.
