Sugar Cookies 2.0
Crisp, comforting, and perfect for Santa, my sweet and simple sugar cookies are easy enough to bake up for a crowd of carolers. When the holidays approacheth and your house is overrun with uninvited guests, don't face the masses empty-handed. Instead, prepare for the onslaught with sugar cookies... but not just any sugar cookies. These are a crisp, not sickeningly sweet version of a sugar cookie, made from a dough that's firm enough to hold all those adorable shapes that you know you're gonna cut out and frost and all that jazz. Here's how I do it. This recipe first appeared on Food Network Kitchen.
