THE BEST ROLLED SUGAR COOKIES

Whenever you make these cookies for someone, be sure to bring along several copies of the recipe! You will be asked for it, I promise! NOTE: I make icing with confectioners' sugar and milk. I make it fairly thin, as I 'paint' the icing on the cookies with a pastry brush. Thin enough to spread easily but not so thin that it just makes your cookies wet and runs off.

THE BEST ROLLED SUGAR COOKIES



The Best Rolled Sugar Cookies image

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.

MY FAVORITE ROLLED SUGAR COOKIES

I found this recipe on a bag of Wal-mart sugar some time ago, and it was so simple, I had to try it. I have tried a zillion sugar cookie recipes, trying to get the soft cookie I like best. I think I have found the perfect sugar cookie. Please note that your cookie yield will vary, depending on what size cookie cutter you used. When I use a variety of sized Christmas cookie cutters, I normally get about 2-1/2 dozen.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients, especially for the butter, sugar, and flour. This will make a big difference in the final flavor and texture of the cookies.
  • Make sure the butter is cold and firm before creaming it with the sugar. This will help to create a light and fluffy dough.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling and cutting it out. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at a moderate temperature (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to brown.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These rolled sugar cookies are a classic holiday treat that are easy to make and always a hit with family and friends. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your cookies turn out perfect every time.
