With a fresh breeze, my longtime-favorite sugar cookie recipe got under way on a new track. I cut out sailboats and frisky fish, frosting them brightly for the nautical gathering. My guests ate their limit! -Martha Conaway, Pataskala, Ohio

I tried this for Christmas this year and it is the best tasting rolled sugar cookie I have tried. The texture is great and the dough is so easy to work with. The icing is really fantastic. I have been trying for years to get an icing that is not a royal icing to set up as well as this does.

This is my all-time favorite sugar cookie recipe. I make it every Christmas, and any other time I have an excuse to make sugar cookies. I find the cookie itself to be very light - not sugary at all. The icing is what really makes the cookie. I always use almond extract instead of vanilla and I think the almond gives the cookie that extra touch. I also love the dough - it's very easy to work with. You can't go wrong with this recipe. I always get requests for the recipe. 5 stars from me!
