These are the sugar cookies that I grew up on. My mom would make them every year along with Christmas Fudge to pass out to our friends and neighbors at Christmas time. They are the perfect Christmas cookie.

I guess the secret's out! Oh well, at least you gave me credit. They really are the best sugar cookies in the world though mine have never looked quite as beautiful as yours! Love your blog, love your pictures and I love you !!
These are beautiful Christmas cookies Allie!
Thank you for your sweet comment on my blog the other day. You are so sweet.
I wish you and your family a joyous Christmas filled with lots of these cookies :-)

Yum-O! I just made these today but I added tons of lemon zest and a little lemon juice… and topped them with yellow decorative sugar… lemony goodness!
These look and sound amazing! But I’m curious, would it be possible to make cut out cookies with this recipe or would it not work with the consistency of the dough?
I don’t think cut out cookies would work with this dough but I have never tried it so I can’t be sure. Let me know if you try :)
Can you refrigerate dough?
Yes, the dough can be refrigerated.
