These are very tastey, and pretty little sugar cookies. I like that you don’t roll the dough and use cookie cutters–these are just quick and easy. The recipe is a bit unusual. I got this recipe from my friend Starlie…she is a gem! I always think of her when I make them. I love to make these cookies for any holiday–just dye the frosting and use sprinkles to coordinate with the celebration. These are a much easier sugar cookie than the traditional roll out variety and everyone loves them!

Melanie – are these cookies soft or more crunchy/crispy?
I’m not kidding…I was just looking for a recipe for non-rolled sugar cookies. Have I mentioned I am so glad you sisters started a blog???
