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.

I came across the lil' blog by accident...but I'm so glad that I did. I am newly single and these servings for two are perfect...one serving now, and one for leftovers! Lovely!

Had a craving for sugar cookies and found this recipe - the perfect size! Substituted out the almond extract and substituted for milk instead. The cookies were still a bit too dry so had to add a splash of milk so a dough would form. Baked up in 8 minutes - delicious! Thanks!

My cookies are in the oven right now, and they look and smell amazing! This is my first time using almond extract (since I bake cookies primarily for my little sister) and I think this is the recipe I will be using from now on. Thank you!
