Great cookie! I’m going to make the icing with the heavy whipping cream. Do I need to refrigerate the cookies after they’ve been frosted since they have the heavy cream?

Easy Cut Out Sugar Cookie Recipe

cup (113 grams) unsalted butter,

cup (95 grams) granulated sugar

tsp baking soda

tablespoons (30m) milk

teaspoon vanilla extract

1 large egg, beaten

salt

(300 g) all-purpose flour

Beat the butter and sugar on medium-high speed until the sugar is dissolved and creamy.

In a small glass dish, dissolve the baking soda in the milk. Add the baking soda/milk, vanilla and egg to the butter. Beat until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Slowly add the salt and  the flour 1 cup at a time and mix until a stiff dough forms.

Form 3 softball size balls of dough. Flatten and wrap tightly in plastic wrap then chill in the freezer for at least 15 minutes or in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 3 days.

Remove the dough from the fridge, roll the dough out on a well-floured surface about ¼” thick. Use a cookie cutter to cut the shapes and transfer to a lined baking sheet. Use parchment paper or a baking mat.

Bake at 350° for 8-12 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

I loved the way these cookies turned out! My family and I made them for Christmas and it was so fun to decorate and one of the best sugar cookies!! Thanks so much. Also, I love the title design, so creative and fun.

Julianne,  this looks really good! I think I need to make these for myself and the kids. Love this idea!

This treat has been my kids' favorite for years, not chocolate chips surprisingly.

I didn't decorate them though. 

Thanks for all these colorful designs. Birthdays and Christmas in my home is taking a new turn.

I'm going to make your lovely cookies this week, because I noticed you don't use baking powder and I love how yours hold their shape. I really don't like my cookie recipe that spread out and puff too much. Is this why you don't use baking powder? I would really love to find out why this happens because I have failed too many times when making cut outs.  Also, do you think I could just leave out the baking powder in my family recipe to avoid the puffy cookies that lose their shape? I need the help from an experienced baker. Thank you so much

Omgosh!!! I used your recipe and it’s  the first time in my adult life that I was so happy the way they held their shape and tasted delicious!!! I also added almond extract and extra vanilla. My kids and I were able to decorate them beautifully and they took pictures of the final product to post for their friends to see. They were so proud. Looks like I can stop searching for the perfect cutout recipe!! I finally found it❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much!!!

These turned out exactly as you said.  But most of all they turned buttery with the best flavor.  Thank you so very much!!

Merry Christmas,
Pat Price

Although it came together  well the taste was just not good after baking. We ended up trashing it all.
