Sandy and I recently baked sugar cookies...Sandy made the sugar cookie dough and I took care of the cutting and decorating. I used 3 large cookie cutters which seemed to work best.
I believe Sandy used Martha Stewart's recipe for the perfect sugar cookie.
Instead of going to the labor intensive icing process...we decorating with sprinkles which turned out to be really easy and worked well.
Decorating before putting the cookies into the oven works best.
