Our Best Ideas for Sugar Cookies
If you ask us, there's no wrong way to make a sugar cookie! We’re just as happy to bake a simple, sugar-rolled batch as we are to go crazy with the royal icing and sprinkles on the cutout version. That’s why we’ve developed a wide variety of recipes, allowing you to enjoy these classic cookies all throughout the year—and for every occasion. You’ll find plenty of holiday options here (including Halloween cookies and Thanksgiving cookies, too) as well as easy recipes you can make for lunchboxes, bake sales and more. No matter which type of cookie you prefer, this is the recipe to save if you like decorating. Our sugar dough is easy to roll and cut into all shapes and sizes—and the cookies hold their shape during baking. They come out firm and strong, perfect for piping decorations onto. We made them with a little less sugar, so feel free to load them up with icing and sprinkles. Their buttery crispness will still come through.
