One of our favorite seasonal activities is baking sugar cookies! They do take more time than a drop cookie (like chocolate chip) but the kids have so much fun decorating them...and they are so yummy.
Here's the recipe we use...and I always use buttercream icing. Its super easy to make and alot easier to decorate with if you're not experienced. My kids love adding the little googly eyes!
BEST SUGAR COOKIES
3/4 cup softened butter
1/2 cup softened cream cheese

1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking powder
3 cup flour
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and cream cheese. Add in sugar and egg.
2. Once combined, add salt, baking powder, and vanilla.
3. Slowly add in flour and mix until combined.
4. Using your hands roll the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Cut out shapes with cookie cutters.
5. Bake between 7-9 minutes.
6. Transfer to a drying rack and let the cookies cool.
7. Ice and decorate cookies. Enjoy!
