My momma's sugar cookie recipe is over 60 years old!

Описание: Ah, the nostalgic scent of Christmas baking—nothing quite compares to Momma’s cherished sugar cookie recipe. This isn't just a recipe; it’s a direct link to cherished memories, a tradition steeped in simple, honest ingredients and a whole lot of love. These cookies are the perfect canvas for your rustic touch painting with colored royal icing, offering a delightful combination of soft centers and crunchy, buttery edges that truly melt in your mouth.

Crafted with the kind of simplicity that only time-tested family recipes possess, the magic begins with high-quality butter, creamed to fluffy perfection with just the right amount of granulated sugar.

You’re well-equipped with the classic assortment from the Wilton 101 cookie cutter set. Imagine the possibilities! From festive stars and jolly gingerbread men to elegant Christmas trees and classic candy canes, each shape invites a new creative possibility. The dough rolls out smoothly, cutting crisp edges that bake into neat little canvases, ready for your artistic vision.

Once baked to a pale, golden perfection, the cooling racks fill the air with anticipation. This is where your unique touch comes in. Using colored royal icing with a rustic, hand-painted style will transform these simple cookies into edible works of art.

Every cookie offers a textural delight: the satisfying snap of the iced surface followed immediately by the tender, buttery crumble of the cookie base. The flavor profile is a harmonious balance of rich butter, sweet vanilla, and the subtle, sugary finish of the royal icing.

These cookies are more than just a Christmas treat; they are a celebration of family tradition.
