I have tried many different Sugar Cookies over the years and have been in search of the perfect cookie. I have come close several times, but I have never felt that it was “it”. I have finally found, in my opinion, the perfect sugar cookie. I know that there are many different opinions of what defines a perfect sugar cookie, but I like a soft cookie that has a rich buttery flavor. I don’t like a crunchy cookie that I have to chew, but one that melts in your mouth and pairs perfectly with cream cheese frosting. This, my friends, is my perfect sugar cookie. It is soft and moist. It melts in your mouth and stays soft for weeks. It rolls out perfectly and goes perfect with any icing. This cookie is great for any holiday cookie, whether it be Valentines Day, Christmas, Easter, or just because you like frosting cookies and decorating them. I hope you love this Sugar Cookie recipe as much as I do!
