Sugar Cookies

Sugar Cookies

I have been making this sugar cookie recipe for years. When I first started making this recipe I just wanted to find something that was delicious, and would keep its shape when I used a cookie cutter. They have always been very good, but recently I changed one thing of this recipe, and it was life changing. So, when I first started making these cookies I would only use regular butter, but a couple months ago I didn’t have enough butter I only had 1/2 cup of regular butter and I had unsalted butter. I was a little hesitant, but I thought I would give the unsalted butter a try. So I decided to do half regular butter and half unsalted butter, and let me tell you everyone liked them so much more. Ever since that day, I changed my recipe, and never looked back. If you try this recipe let me know how it goes. You can always leave a comment here or send me some pictures on my Instagram or Twitter.
