Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat together softened butter and sugar. Add eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, baking soda and sea salt, continuing to beat mixture until well combined.
  3. Turn mixer to low and add half the flour, mix until combined and add remaining flour. Continue to beat until dough is well mixed. Remove dough and place on a well-floured surface.
  4. Divide dough into four pieces. Roll out the first piece to 1/4-inch thickness and cut into desired shapes. Return combined scraps to remaining dough and continue to roll and cut.
  5. Place cookies on a baking tray covered with parchment paper and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Cookies should be lightly browning around the edge. Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to finish cooling.
  6. Once cookies are completely cool, place powdered sugar in a bowl and add 2 tablespoons milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Stir until combined, adding more milk, 1 to 2 teaspoons at a time, until icing is easily spreadable.
  7. Place cookie, top side down, into icing. Remove and wipe excess icing from the cookie with a knife. Return to rack and continue with remaining cookies. Top cookies with Goji berries for a bit of natural holiday color.
 
NOTE
  1. Dough can be made ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to use.
