Christmas Sugar Cookies

Christmas sugar cookies are abundant in the amount of sugar that forms the fundamental ingredient of them. They are extremely sweet and match with the sweetness that Christmas brings with it. Along with the sweet internal stuff of the cookies, they are topped with a variety of sweet flavors. The sweet base of the Christmas sugar cookies can be deliberately made to be soft or extra crispy. This is because some people only like to drool over the rich and sweet taste of the cookies while others cannot do without the inherent crispiness related to cookies.
Those who like soft sugar cookies love the creamy ice-cream toppings of vanilla, strawberry, pineapple and chocolate flavors. A bordering of sweet jams and jellies that fits to the shape of the cookie also looks pretty and adds to the overall sweet taste of the cookie. Another way to make the Christmas sugar cookies sweeter involves the smearing of an assortment to cream and fruit juices over the cookie.
Coming to the well-known crispy sugar cookies, we can think of various ways of increasing the sugar content thereby retaining the crispiness and the cracking sound of the cookie. Be it a layered cookie or a cookie with a thin base, the sugar can be added to both the interior and exterior of the cookie. Sometimes the small square shaped sugar particles are sprinkled over the surface of the cookie. At other times minute balls made up of soft jelly are enough to blend with the crispy quotient of the Christmas sugar cookies. Another option is to add crackling sugar cubes and balls that come in different sizes and shapes especially to adorn a Christmas cookie.
