Serving Size: 12

Cooking Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 0.5 Cup (c) unsalted butter, packaged
• 0.25 Cup (c) white sugar
• 0.5 Cup (c) rye flour
• 1 Cup (c) all-purpose flour
• 0.125 Teaspoon (tsp) baking powder
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) salt
• 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) water

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the packaged butter and white sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
3. Gradually add the rye flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to the creamed mixture. Mix until just combined.
4. Add the water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough is moist and holds together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
5. Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to your desired thickness. For crispier cookies, roll the dough thinner.
6. Use a 2 1/2-inch round cutter or a floured glass to cut out the cookies. Use a thimble or small cutter to make a hole off-center in each cookie if you plan to hang them.
7. Place the cookies on ungreased baking sheets, leaving a little space between each one.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cookies are slightly browned around the edges.
9. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack.
10. Once cooled, hang the cookies on your Christmas tree with ribbon or yarn, or store them in an airtight container to enjoy with your favorite hot beverage.
