so, i did end up getting to make a few cookies for valentines day this year. my first time making sugar cookies!
but, i am still on the search for the perfect recipe for cookie and frosting…
i’d love to hear your favorite recipes!
i’ve used the no fail sugar cookie one and i have a recipe from the peggy porschen cookie bible (pretty party cakes) that I could email you if you’re interested. frosting i haven’t used that much yet but also check out the peggy porschen one. If i’m really quick i can decorate a few with fondant before my boys eat them.
I wish I were more help. I still use the Martha Stewart recipe, even though it’s a bit fussy. It tastes pretty good, so I end up going back to it time after time.
These are beautiful!
That’s a beautiful cookie for your first attempt!
I love the packaging!
Seriously the best frosting EVER:

I use this no-chill Sugar Cookie recipe because I hate waiting for the dough to chill, but it’s also the best tasting recipe that I’ve tried. I’ve had several friends ask for the recipe. It makes a TON of cookies so you could probably cut the recipe in half.
No-Chill Sugar Cookies
1 pound butter
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
6 – 7 cups of flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
Beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well. Add dry ingredients. Roll out 1/4 inch thick and cut. Bake at 375 degrees until edges just start to get golden brown. Makes 8 or 9 dozen cookies and frost with buttercream frosting.
My sugar cookie recipe is one of those that has been passed around from friend to friend, I can’t even tell you were it originated from! I posted it on my blog http://batchofhappy.blogspot.com
Try them out, they’re to die for!
Looking nice!! I love to make sugar cookies…
