To all those of you who said this isn't a recipe! Did you click on the words basic cookie recipe? It's right there!

This particular Sugar Cookie Recipe is intended to be used with the several other recipes pictured in the Christmas Cookie Plate [They failed to even mention the Sugar Cookies as they listed the other Cookies that can be made with this Base being the common string between each recipe].

I made these and they turned out really great! BTW, how is this not a recipe? It has ingredients and directions. Many of the Nestle recipes with prepared dough are like this, so how is it not a recipe?
