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.

Cutie, cute, cute! I love the little heart. And I have to say I love the little wooden bowl, my Dad makes bowls like that.
Have a wonderful trip home for Christmas!!

Last year all my brother asked for for Christmas was sugar cookies and these were the ones I made...and yes he was SO pleased! I think he ate half the batch on christmas and then hid them from my family and rationed them out for the next week lol.
These are super cute. I actually have a texas cookie cutter...perhaps I'll make him texas-shaped cookies this year!
Happy holidays love!

I'm not from Texas and I still think those cookies are adorable! I wish I had a Connecticut-shaped cookie cutter now. :)
