If these aren’t the cutest cut-out sugar cookies you’ve ever seen, you either play with puppies and kittens all day and are on cuteness overload, or you’re not from Texas. Only one of those excuses is forgivable, by the way.
I scaled down sweet Bridget’s recipe, and not only is her recipe easy (yes, roll out cookies are easy!), they are delicious. Every baker I know uses her recipes when they want perfect cookies every time. I quartered her full size recipe in order to make 1 dozen cookies.
Feel free to use this dough for festive holiday cookie cutters; I won’t mind a bit. But, since I'm going home to Texas for Christmas, these feel festive to me.

The heart on Austin (at least I assume that's what it's on) is the cutest thing about these. I wonder if they make NY state cutouts? ;)
