One Dozen Cut Out Sugar cookies, so cute and perfect! Use any shape cutter you like!
The third most-requested cookie recipe from y'all last week was cut-out sugar cookies. I shared this recipe last year, and I'm so happy to share it again because I happen to think it's the cutest recipe on this site. I may be biased, but I'm also right.
Today is a perfect day to stay home and roll out sugar cookies because we just got our first snow here in north eastern Kansas. There's no way they would let someone like me on the road today: I have a California driver's license and Texas license plates on my car. I get disqualified from driving in snow automatically. Not to mention, there's no way I could keep my eyes on the road because I cannot stop staring at the snow. I love it when the wind blows flurries of snowflakes! Our yard looks like a Christmas card. When the snow plows came through the neighborhood at 2am last night, I hopped out of bed like a kid who heard Santa in the chimney. Only a Southerner would marvel at such things.
So, for the safety of everyone, I'll stay home and bake. If anyone should slide down into our cul-de-sac and not be able to get out, they've got cookies awaiting. I'm worried about the 5 deer that live in woods behind our house. What do animals do in the snow? Maybe they'd like some cookies too?
The Mr and I are off to Dallas for the first part of Christmas, then head to Georgia for the rest. There's no doubt I'll be posting photos on Instagram. Don't worry, he's driving us to Dallas.
Enjoy!

Don't worry, the deer will likely be fine if it's not a terribly deep snow. If you do get a couple feet of snow, deep enough that they can't forage for food, you can get some cracked corn or horse feed at Tractor Supply or Southern States and scatter that out for them.

Thanks, Maggie! :)
Katrina @ Warm Vanilla Sugar says
So festive! These sound awesome!
Erin@LawStudentsWife says
I'm snowed in today as well! Being stuck with these adorable (yes, they are adorable) cookies would make things so much more fun! I love that you have a recipe for 12--most cut out cookie recipes make at least 4 dozen, and while I love cookies, I just can't handle all that frosting.
Have a safe trip! (I'll be heading to KS myself, and the Mr. is DEFINITELY driving)
Christina says
How fun, Erin! Safe travels :)

Could these be any cuter? I think not! Merry Christmas sweets!
Gerry @ Foodness Gracious says
Yup, no such luck here in California, but headed to the snowy mountains in a week :)
Katherine R. says
Your bias is spot on - these cookies are adorable! Safe travels and Merry Christmas!
Elaine @ Cooking to Perfection says
Yes you might be biased, but you are also right. They are so darn cute! This makes me want to get an NC cookie cutter and make a batch of these cookies. :)
Cathy @ Noble Pig says
Love the Texas cutter!!
Stephie @ Eat Your Heart Out says
I love you. I'm laughing my ass off right now. Give me a call when the snow loses it's novelty. ;-)
Ps, couldn't love these adorable cookies more.
Michelle says
awwww snow! I don't think I would be allowed to drive in it either. I'm a californian through and through and everyone knows we can't even drive in the rain!
Love that you have Texas cookie cutter and these sugar cookies are so cute!
