this sugar cookie recipe is great! i used it to make star shaped cookies which i pinned onto a foam cone with truffles to make an edible truffle, cookie Christmas tree. With soft centers and crispy tips these cookies went down a treat. i will definitely be using this recipe again to make all of my cutout cookies. thanks cupcake-princess!

I don't really like to cook that much, but I love to bake. My favorite thing to do is bake yummy homemade cupcakes, brownies, cookies, and more. I enjoy eating bake goods as much as making them! I have a sweet Miniature Schnazer named Oliver that we adopted from the animal shelter. I like to collect old cookbooks, the oldest one I have is from 1913. My favorite magazines are Bon Appitite and Martha Stewart's Every Day Food. I just became a Certified Nursing Assistant. Around my house i'm known as the pissed off baker because when I bake you better stay out of the kitchen!!!
