Smooth Sailing Sugar Cookies
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!

These are the best sugar cookies I have ever had! We make these all the time for every occasion. My adult children text me for this recipe at least once a year. They bake nicely, they decorate easily, and they keep very well.
This is my go to recipe for sugar cookies. Sugar cookies can be fussy in hot and humid areas of the country. This one worked fabulously in Florida and now in south central Texas. Pus it tastes great!
I make these cookies multiple times every year they are my go to sugar cookies for every occasion sometimes I use a buttercream icing, but other than that or a little almond flavoring also I don't change a thing! You can also make them a little thicker than the recipie suggests. Everyone loves these cookies!
Just the right sweetness!! Very easy to work with- easier than other recipes I have used.

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!
