Hello Friends! Are you in the holiday spirit yet? We have started to decorate our home and for the first time, put up our Christmas tree right after Thanksgiving. We have some fun holiday celebrations and today I am sharing a simple sugar cookie recipe that I love making for Christmas cookies every year. It is one of our most popular Christmas cookie recipes and they never last long because they are so light and tasty.
They are perfect when you need a cookie recipe for a cookie exchange or are looking for a tasty Christmas dessert idea.
The ingredients are easy to have on hand and it is the perfect cookie for rolling into cut out cookie shapes. I have a lot of cookie cutters and this recipe is perfect for them.
There is nothing like homemade sugar cookies to bring a smile to someone’s face and who doesn’t want to spread some holiday cheer? These cookies are great plain, topped with sugar decorations, but you can also make a light icing with 1 cup powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of milk. Mix together and spread over cookies. Let dry completely.
It is one of our favorite Christmas sugar cookie recipes!
