Sugar Cookies

I love how easy sugar cookies are to make. As a kid I couldn't wait for Christmas so that I could help my mom frost her absolutely delicious sugar cookies. I still think that my mom's are the best (recipe here), but these were definitely a close second! These ended up a little thicker, and were so easy to make. I'd give them a 5/5 for sure--you just can't go wrong with cookies!
