NO FAIL SUGAR COOKIES!!!



     Miracles do happen!  In the 38 years I have been alive, I don't think that I ever have made sugar cookies that have REALLY worked well.  I have tried many, many times and today was my lucky day!  I googled NO FAIL SUGAR COOKIES and picked a recipe that you could use intricate cookie cutters with because the dough held its shape really well and the dough was to die for!  I am a sucker for cookie dough!    
      I also liked the trick of using parchment paper (I used waxed paper...not sure the difference) and didn't have to wait an hour or two to let the dough chill.  Patience in the kitchen is not one of my strongest virtues!  Here is my cute little 4 year old Lilly and it was her idea to make cookies.  The other 6 kids weren't home...they will be in charge of frosting them if they don't get eaten first, LOL.  Here is the recipe!


NFSC:  NO FAIL SUGAR COOKIES!  http://www.food.com/recipe/no-fail-sugar-cookies-108172

INGREDIENTS:
                                                       

cups flour



           

Directions:

  1. 1
    Cream butter and sugar.
  2. 2
    Add eggs and vanilla.
  3. 3
    Mix dry ingredients and add to butter mixture.
  4. 4
    Mix well.
  5. 5
    Chill for 1 to 2 hours or see HINT below.
  6. 6
    Roll to desired thickness and cut into desired shapes.
  7. 7
    Bake on an ungreased baking sheet at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until just beginning to turn brown around the edges.
  8. 8
    HINT: Rolling out dough without the mess-rather than wait for the dough to chill, take freshly made dough and place a glob between two sheets of parchment paper.
  9. 9
    Roll it out to the desired thickness then place the dough with paper on a cookie sheet and pop it in the refrigerator.
  10. 10
    Continue rolling dough between paper until you have used it all.
  11. 11
    By the time you finish preparing the dough, the first batch will be chilled and ready to cut.
  12. 12
    Reroll left over dough and repeat the process.
  13. 13
    An added bonus is that you aren't adding any more flour to the cookies by rolling them out the old fashioned way.
