How to Make Twisted Christmas Cookies

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
• Cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time and mix well, then stir in the vanilla extract.
• Combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture gradually, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
• Scoop generous tablespoons of dough and twist them into fun shapes on the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, removing when edges are golden brown, and let cool on wire racks.
• Optional: Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
