Worlds Best Sugar Cookie

What sets this Sugar Cookie recipe apart is it contains powdered sugar and it is fabulous! You can make cutout cookies with it but keep in mind the dough does spread a bit, although not terribly. I have very successfully made many cutout cookies with this recipe. Give it a try and I am sure you will love them as much as we do.

GREAT RECIPE! I made one batch of this and got about 75 3inch star cookies out of it. I use powdered sugar on the rolling pin and roll the dough out on parchment paper, since it can become sticky. i always use this recipe bc the cookies stay moist and soft. people go craaazy over them :-)
