Sugar Cookies
Easy. Classic. Simple. Yum!
These sugar cookies are buttery and delicious. This is a great recipe if you’re looking for a sweet treat to bring to a holiday gathering. The key is making sure that they have enough time to chill in the refrigerator before cooking. I recommend trying to keep them in the fridge for 24 hours prior to baking.
Enjoy!
