Basic Sugar Cookie Recipes
You'll definitely need some basic sugar cookie recipes especially if you have kids. So much fun for them to let their imagination run wild when decorating them.
Contrary to other cookies, you roll the dough like for a pie. To make it easier, make a big ball with the dough, wrap it and refrigerate it at least 1 hour. You can also freeze it.
You should also have cookie cutters of different shapes...
For those of you, like me, who don't like crispy sugar cookies, try this soft sugar cookie recipe below .
Let's take a look at the video and really see how it's done.
Here is a recipe for a soft sugar cookie that is not too sweet, so if you want, sprinkled them with powdered sugar once they are baked.
The dough itself can be a little sticky when you take it out of the fridge, but if you use plenty of flour on your hands and the counter, you should have no problems.
