Sugar cookies are perfect for Christmas baking and look amazing decorated with Royal Icing!
These sugar cookies are so much fun to make with the kids at Christmas time. It’s a tradition now every year, they love it! These are easy to make with no chilling required! Perfect edges every time! You can color the icing once you make it with any colors you like with a few drops of food coloring.
You can buy all kinds of different cookie cutters to make lots of Christmas shapes. Can also be used for other holidays as well! I’ve included the recipe for Royal Icing which makes a nice icing for these! When they are finished they make amazing gifts to give to friends and relatives during the holidays. They freeze well also so you can make them ahead of time and pull them out of the freezer before company arrives.
