Sugar cookie crinkles? Oh yes we did. Two of our favorite Christmas cookies come together in this sweet and simple treat, made special with real vanilla beans.

Ingredient List

3 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup butter, softened
2 vanilla beans, cut in half lengthwise, scraped
2 eggs
1 cup powdered sugar
Additional powdered sugar for sprinkling, if desired

Preparation

Heat oven to 325°F. In small bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.
In large bowl, beat granulated sugar, softened butter and seeds from 2 vanilla beans with electric mixer on medium speed about 1 minute or until fluffy; scrape side of bowl. Beat in eggs, one at a time, just until smooth. On low speed, beat flour mixture into sugar mixture until well blended. Cover and let dough stand at room temperature 10 minutes.
Shape dough into 60 (1 1/4-inch) balls. In small bowl, place 1 cup powdered sugar. Roll each cookie in powdered sugar; shake off excess. Place on ungreased cookie sheets 2 inches apart.
Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until edges are until light brown. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, at least 15 minutes. Sprinkle with additional powdered sugar. Store in airtight container at room temperature.

Tips

To remove seeds from a vanilla bean, cut the bean in half lengthwise. Run the blade of a knife across the inside of the bean, gathering seeds on the edge of the knife.
No vanilla bean? No problem! Substitute 2 teaspoons vanilla extract for the 2 beans.
For even baking, make sure cookies are the same shape and size.
