What’s Valentine’s Day without sugar cookies? I say it’s an absolutely sad day! So, you should make these. They are heavenly!
Have you ever had a sugar cookie that is so sweet that it’s hard to eat the whole thing? I’m not a big fan of a super sugary cookie with the gooey sweet frosting together. It’s just too much and I can only eat a few bites. This recipe creates a nice cookie that’s not too sweet and is a nice balance with the butter cream frosting.
We love to gather together as a family and decorate sugar cookies. Of course candy is important!
I should have taken pictures of their cookies when they were done. They were covered with candy.
Here’s our favorite sugar cookie and buttercream frosting recipes. Enjoy!
