Now that were done stuffing ourselves with Thanksgiving turkey and mashed potatoes , the holiday season naturally shifts us away from salty food and hurls us toward an abundance of sugar. To be more exact, were talking about sugar cookies.
As soon as its remotely appropriate, bakers around the world begin making holiday cookies , rolling out their dough, cutting it into snowmen and reindeer, and painstakingly decorating them before biting off their heads. But theres one problem: They often taste like cardboard.
Were here to help. Over the years weve tried many of our favorite bloggers recipes , and weve been picky about which are our favorites. Were sharing them with you here, including classics, twists and healthier alternatives.
Youll notice several of them are from the same bloggers (ahem, Minimalist Baker and Sallys Baking Addiction ). Thats because theyve become trusted masters of the sugar cookie. Try these recipes, and no one will be disappointed in your cookies this year.
