Best 3 Doras Christmas Cookies Recipes
DORA'S CHRISTMAS COOKIES
This recipe has been in my family for over 50 years. As a child, I couldn't wait to go to my sister's house to bake these. We would bake all one day and decorate them all day the next. Fond memories. Cut down on the salt if using margarine.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
- Mix together sugar, shortening or margarine, vanilla extract and almond extract Cream these together until light. Add eggs and beat well.
- Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt ( use 1/2 teas. if using margarine). Add to sugar mixture alternately with milk, ending with flour mixture. Dough will be quite stiff and may require mixing the last bit of flour in by hand.
- Roll out portions of dough on floured board and cut with your favorite cookie cutters.
- Place on greased cookie sheets and bake for 10 to 12 minutes . Test for doneness by touching lightly with your finger. If there is no dent, they're done. Cool and frost, decorate with colored sugars and colored frosting..
- Note: If you like crisp cookies, roll the dough thinner. For more cake-like dough roll thicker and use metal cookie cutters. Originally we used Anise oil to flavor the dough (5 to 6 drops) in place of the vanilla and almond extracts. But my children prefer the extracts.

Tips:
- **Use high-quality ingredients:** The better the ingredients, the better the cookies will taste. This means using real butter, pure vanilla extract, and high-quality chocolate chips. - **Follow the recipe carefully:** Don't try to substitute ingredients or change the proportions. This will likely result in cookies that don't turn out well. - **Chill the dough:** This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much. - **Bake the cookies at the right temperature:** The temperature of the oven will affect the way the cookies bake. Be sure to preheat the oven to the correct temperature before baking the cookies. - **Don't overbake the cookies:** Overbaked cookies will be dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies just until they are set and the edges are just beginning to brown. - **Let the cookies cool completely:** This will help them set and develop their full flavor.Conclusion:
These Christmas cookie recipes are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. With a little planning and effort, you can make delicious and festive cookies that everyone will love. Happy baking!
