Holiday Cutout Cookies
The only limit to these fun cutouts is your cookie cutter collection and your imagination! If you prefer crisp cookies, sprinkle with colored sugar before baking and skip the frosting. My family loves these easy holiday cookies! —Anne Grisham, Henderson, Nevada

Reviews
These are the worst Cookies I ever made. For me it was the aftertaste. Along with all the other problems, the avertaste was awful. This needs to be removed from the internet. Wow, what a waste of ingredients here.
I was nervous after reading the review that the dough was too sticky. At first, it was. I reworked with a little more flour, and it started to cooperate. I was afraid the cookies would be tough, but they weren't! Even the very last scraps that I baked. This is the best sugar cutout recipe that I've found to date.
I followed this recipe exactly and refrigerated the dough overnight, but when I tried to roll it out it stuck to everything! I tried adding a bit more flour, and then it just fell apart. I'm so disappointed in this recipe, the dough smelled and tasted really good, if only it wouldn't have been so sticky. ):
I am baking these cookies as I write this...these are such GOOD cookies. I will be making these every Christmas!!!
tasty, tender inside, and good texture! I refrigerated the dough overnight before I could roll them out, however. I also baked at 375F for 5 minutes. Great!
Easy and oh so delicious! Get your cookie cutters out and enjoy!
