Best Ever Sugar Cookies

1 h 38 min

Yum! These perfect sugar cookies are buttery and have just the right balance of snap and crumble. On their own, they're not very sweet, which makes them an excellent palette for icing on top to give them the sweetness they need without being overly sweet. It's all about balance. :) Make these for any occasion! Each cookie is a blank slate just waiting for your creativity.
