Sugar Cookies
NeedTaste |We love sugar cookies because they can be served year-round. They made a sweet addition to a holiday cookie tray but can be decorated for any season. The cookies are crisp and melt in your mouth. We opted to sprinkle them with colored sugar here that adds a little crunch and color.. This is a family favorite. These cookies are always a hit whenever I bake them for family or friends.
