HEALTHIER (BUT STILL) THE BEST ROLLED SUGAR COOKIES
These sugar cookies are amazing but I wanted to try to cut some calories so I replaced some of the sugar with a sugar-like sweetener. They still taste great and now they are pretty guilt free. If you decide to ice them, I would keep it light -- maybe some cute dots!

THE BEST ROLLED SUGAR COOKIES
I had these at a friend's little girl's birthday party. I don't normally rave about a cookie. And, it takes a special dessert to get my attention. These cookies were amazing. I like my cookies soft. This fit the bill. Plus, they decorated beautifuly. They reminded me of the look of a Cookie Bouquet cookie with a lot better taste. The icing is Wilton's buttercream icing. A thin layer of this made for an amazing cookie.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400*F''
- Prepare 2 baking sheets and set aside. This can be done by greasing them with butter or Crisco, non-stick spray, parchment paper, non-stick foil or a baking mat. Whatever your preferred method is.
- Cream together sugar and butter for 3 minutes or until fluffy.
- Add eggs and mix again.
- Add salt, and baking powder. Blend.
- Add 1/4 cup buttermilk, vanilla and almond extract. Blend.
- Add 2 1/2 cups flour (1/2 cup at a time).
- Add remaining 1/4 cup buttermilk.
- Then remaining flour (for a total of 4 1/2 cups). Batter should be smooth, elastic like and slightly sticky. If too sticky, add more flour a little at a time (up to 1 cup - be careful to not put TOO much flour in the dough).
- When ready to roll out, sprinkle surface with powdered sugar, not flour. These are SUGAR cookies. Roll them out in sugar! Roll to 1/4 in thickness.
- Cut out with favorite shape and transfer to prepared pan.
- Bake 10 minutes. Watch carefully as every oven bakes differently. You want the cookies to be a hint of golden under them, not dark golden. Edges should not start to show golden, you'll have to gently flip a cookie to see for sure.
- Allow cookies to cool completely then frost.

Tips:
- To ensure your rolled sugar cookies turn out perfectly, make sure to use unsalted butter at room temperature. This will help the cookies spread evenly while baking and prevent them from becoming too dense.
- Don't overmix the cookie dough. Overmixing can result in tough and crumbly cookies. Mix until the ingredients are just combined, then stop.
- Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling and baking. This will help the cookies keep their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Roll the cookie dough to a thickness of 1/8 inch. This will ensure that the cookies are evenly baked and have a soft and chewy texture.
- Use a cookie cutter to cut out your desired shapes. If you don't have a cookie cutter, you can use a glass or a knife to cut the dough into squares or circles.
- Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 375°F for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges just begin to brown. Overbaking will result in dry and crumbly cookies.
- Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving. This will help them to set and prevent them from becoming soggy.
