One of the best sugar cookie recipes ever! I've made this multiple times & everyone loves them! The dough is a little delicate so stick with basic shapes when cutting them out (like the heart, circles, etc.) but it is well worth it! They are not dry at all and have a wonderful flavor! don't skip the icing though.. it makes the cookie! :)
