Great Value Sugar Cookie

Submitted by D-L Brigman

"This is the sugar cookie recipe found on Wal-Mart's brand, Great Value, sugar bag. Hands down - this is the BEST sugar cookie recipe I've ever tried! Rather than rolling out these cookies and using cookie cutters, I form the dough into a log, cover with cling wrap and freeze. To bake, just slice 1/4" thick! *Preparation time does not include chilling time *Number of servings depends upon size of cookie shapes"

I wrote this down years ago off the back of the bag, and I'm so glad I found it for this year! I've gotten compliments every single year on these cookies....I've made these plain with just a little sugar sprinkled on and also gone full out and decorated them elaborately with royal icing, etc. They hold up spectacularly either way. Perfect sweetness, density, and crumb, this is literally THE BEST sugar cookie recipe EVER. (Even better than my grandma's...I said it!) I love seeing the look on people's face when they ask for the recipe and I tell them where I got it....priceless!
