Valentine’s Day (Or Christmas or Fourth of July or Thanksgiving or…) Sugar Cutout Cookies
January 18, 2022
Frequently asked questions about these cookies:
Q: Do you have to refrigerate this dough in the bowl overnight before you bake the cookies?
A: Nope.
Q: Okay, but do you have to roll out the dough, cut out the cookies, put them on the tray, and put them in the fridge before baking?
A: Nope.
Q: Okay, okay, but I bet since you don't put them in the fridge at any stage, the cookies will spread all over the tray when you bake them, right?
A: Nope.
Q: Huh. Well, they must puff up and lose their definition making icing them impossible, right?
A: Nope.
Q: Wait, hold up. A cutout cookie recipe that doesn't require refrigeration, doesn't spread, doesn't rise, doesn't lose definition at all and you are SHARING this recipe with the world?
A: YEP!
These literally take 10-15 minutes to put together and bake in 6-8 minutes, depending on how big you cut them and the true temp of your oven.
