The Disney Channel star-turned-pop performer has put out music for 10 years, but with the hit single \"Espresso\" and her sixth studio album <em>Short n' Sweet<\/em>, she has finally broken through in a big way. Why not celebrate her banner year by making her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/our-best-christmas-cookie-recipes\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Christmas cookies<\/a>?\r\n<h2>What are Sabrina Carpenter's Christmas cookies?<\/h2>\r\nTo be fair, Sabrina Carpenter is probably not the first one to make these Christmas cookies, but a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@sabrinacarpenter\/video\/7316392271098793262\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">step-by-step TikTok video of Carpenter baking up a batch<\/a> scored 10 million views and nearly 1 million likes.\r\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" style=\"max-width: 605px; min-width: 325px;\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@sabrinacarpenter\/video\/7316392271098793262\" data-video-id=\"7316392271098793262\"><section><a title=\"@sabrinacarpenter\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@sabrinacarpenter?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@sabrinacarpenter<\/a>which cookie u want santaaa\r\n\r\n<a title=\"\u266c A Nonsense Christmas - Sabrina Carpenter\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/A-Nonsense-Christmas-7174196492960270337?refer=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c A Nonsense Christmas - Sabrina Carpenter<\/a>\r\n\r\n<\/section><\/blockquote>\r\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>These are standard chocolate chip cookies, with red and green M&amp;M's adding holiday flair. In fact, the steps appear identical to <em>the<\/em> standard chocolate chip cookie recipe, the one <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nestle.com\/stories\/timeless-discovery-toll-house-chocolate-chip-cookie-recipe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">developed by Nestl\u00e9 Toll House in 1939<\/a>. Its appeal lies in its simplicity: The ingredients are minimal and commonplace (flour, butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, baking soda, salt, vanilla, chocolate chips) and the steps are foolproof. For example, although the recipe says to use softened butter, Carpenter appears to use mostly melted butter, and it doesn't seem to affect the end result.\r\n<h2>How do I make her Christmas cookie recipe?<\/h2>\r\nThough the recipe is straightforward, Carpenter does make some savvy choices with her baking:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Quality ingredients.<\/strong> The TikTok video shows King Arthur flour, beloved by home bakers, and since she's starting with new, still sealed packages, the ingredients are probably at peak freshness. This is particularly important with something like brown sugar, which can dry out and clump up. (Here's <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/how-to-keep-brown-sugar-soft\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">how to keep brown sugar soft<\/a>.)<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Parchment paper.<\/strong> The Christmas cookies are rolled into tidy balls on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-use-parchment-paper\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">parchment-lined baking sheet<\/a>. Parchment paper is an important baking tool, as it minimizes mess and keeps cookies from sticking to the pan.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Holiday-themed serving tray.<\/strong> OK, this is hardly a <em>requirement<\/em>, but it heightens the overall effect of your Christmas cookies (and distracts from any less-than-perfect ones).<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nMaking a batch of these Christmas treats takes less than half an hour, so it's a worthwhile activity on a winter afternoon. Following Carpenter's lead will result in some delicious holiday cookies, though it should be noted that having a cat supervise the process is purely optional.\r\n\r\n[cf]skyword_tracking_tag[\/cf]","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The pop star shared her recipe on TikTok, and we&#8217;re all about the red and green M&#038;M&#8217;s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7801,"featured_media":2091817,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ep_exclude_from_search":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[304423,304408,304368,303719,303720],"categories-v2":[308821,308813,308745,308324,308345],"coauthors":[343846],"acf":{"ncv_override_generic_settings_option":false,"ncv_autoplay_option":"","ncv_stickyplay_option":"","ncv_ads_option":"","ncv_mute_option":"","ncv_comscore_option":"","ncv_autoplay_mobile_option":"","ncv_viewable_threshold_option":"","ncv_sticky_offset_option":"","ncv_autopause_option":"","ncv_sticky_offset_mobile_option":"","ncv_autopause_mobile_option":"","ncv_sticky_mobile_option":"","ncv_remove_player_option":false,"ncv_moat_option":"","long_pin_file":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.3 (Yoast SEO v23.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Sabrina Carpenter&#039;s Recipe for Christmas Cookies with M&amp;M&#039;s<\/title>\n\n\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/sabrina-carpenter-christmas-cookies\/\" \/>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO Premium plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Sabrina Carpenter's Recipe for Christmas Cookies with M&M's","description":"Sabrina Carpenter is probably not the first one to make this recipe, but a TikTok of her baking a batch scored 10 million views.","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/sabrina-carpenter-christmas-cookies\/","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"You Too Can Make Sabrina Carpenter's Easy (and Adorable) Christmas Cookies","og_description":"Sabrina Carpenter is probably not the first one to make this recipe, but a TikTok of her baking a batch scored 10 million views.","og_url":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/sabrina-carpenter-christmas-cookies\/","og_site_name":"Taste Recipes","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/tasteofhome","article_published_time":"2024-12-18T23:40:47+00:00","og_image":[{"width":1200,"height":800,"url":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/sabrina-carpenter-cookies-credit-@sabrinacarpenter-tiktok.jpg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"author":"Marnie Shure","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_image":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/sabrina-carpenter-cookies-credit-@sabrinacarpenter-tiktok.jpg","twitter_creator":"@tasteofhome","twitter_site":"@tasteofhome","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"Marnie Shure","Est. reading time":"2 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/sabrina-carpenter-christmas-cookies\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/sabrina-carpenter-christmas-cookies\/"},"author":{"name":"skyword system user","@id":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/#\/schema\/person\/7ccbba5e04c121f1dcff19cbc0692222"},"headline":"You Too Can Make Sabrina Carpenter&#8217;s Easy (and Adorable) Christmas Cookies","datePublished":"2024-12-18T23:40:47+00:00","dateModified":"2024-12-18T23:40:47+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/sabrina-carpenter-christmas-cookies\/"},"wordCount":396,"commentCount":0,"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/#organization"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/sabrina-carpenter-christmas-cookies\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/sabrina-carpenter-cookies-credit-@sabrinacarpenter-tiktok.jpg","keywords":["Christmas","Holidays","Holidays &amp;
