The most soft and delicious sugar cookie.
I love sugar cookies and am kind of a snob when it comes to them. They have to be soft but not dry, they can’t have too much frosting and the dough needs to not be too sweet. These cookies hit all of those points and even more.
As much as I love a cutout cookie for the holidays, it’s nice to not have to worry about cutting them out and having kids decorate them. These ones are just a simple circle cookie and I like decorating them simple. You can also color the frosting and use them for any time of year.
You guys. They are so good! Be sure to save the recipe to your PINTEREST cookie oard.
