July 9th, 2025 is National Sugar Cookie Day

National Sugar Cookie Day

The sugar cookie is successful because of its simplicity. Made with the basic cookie ingredients of sugar, flour, butter, eggs, vanilla, and baking soda, these cookies can be rolled out and cut into shapes, or made by rolling bits of dough into balls and flattening lightly into their most common round shape.

But don't think the cookie goodness stops there! These sweet treats can be frosted or topped with sprinkles, to decorate for any occasion.
