Perfect Cut-Out Sugar Cookies + Royal Icing Video
To celebrate the vast amounts of baking all of us have to do at these times I bring you my favorite cut-out sugar cookie recipe! Not all sugar cookie recipes are the same at all. Some are too wet so when they bake up they spread and don’t hold their shape. Some are too dry and while they hold their shape beautifully taste like chalk when you try to eat them. This recipe is neither of those! It has a tiny bit more sugar than some cut-out recipes I have seen and it also has cream cheese in it. I have no idea what the cream cheese does but it totally makes a difference so don’t leave it out! I also like to add nutmeg to just about everything during the holidays so I threw some of that in there too. These cookies work great for Christmas and I also use them to make killer cookies for Easter. They are super yummy by themselves but also hold their shape great. They are the perfect blank canvas for decorating, so feel free to go crazy with the frosting! I also made a video for it so you can check that out if you like.
