Sugar cookies have long since been a tradition in my house, especially at Christmas time. My favorite past time was getting to help my mother ice and decorate then entire counter full of beautiful cookies. As I have grown I have enjoyed carrying on this past time to my children and have even enjoyed getting together with my sister and her children and doing this together! It seems like quite a project but is always SO SO worth it. I love this recipe! It makes the most incredible soft cookies and (my sister will laugh) makes the "nicest" dough! I always double this so we have plenty for the holidays to share. They freeze really good as well! Enjoy!
