I was planning on starting to do decorated cookies. Is there anyone here that can give me a great tasting cookie recipe that is great for cookie cutters and decorating. Just starting out so would love to try them.

Thanks

Here's what I use.......................
Cream 1 cup of butter and 1 cup of sugar together in mixer.
Add 2 eggs and 1 tsp vanilla.
In a seperate bowl add 2 ½ cups of flour with 1 tsp baking soda.
Add this mixture to first mixture blend well. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
Bake at 325 for 8-10 min.


I only use butter and real vanilla. I ALWAYS double this in my KA mixer.
I also only use air bake pans if that helps. Keeps a nice bottom on the cookie.

I use the No Fail Sugar Cookie Recipe from this site. It does not spread and tastes yummy!

I have been baking sugar cookies for years and years and I finally found the best recipe ever! I used to use the NFSC of this site but I was never really thrilled with the taste. Another CC'er gave me the recipe, her username is Mac. PM her and I am sure she will be more than happy to share it with you!

I basically use the same recipe as debster, except I use baking POWDER instead of baking soda.

Traditional Sugar Cookies!

1 stick margarine
1/2 stick butter
1 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt

This recipe is a lot like the No Fail, but I find everyone likes it a little better.

i use the no fail sugar cookies, they taste great! But i noticed i love the flavor better if i use land o lakes butter. different butter, different flavoring.

I have also used the NFSC recipe and flavor it with almond extract and real butter (Land o Lakes). I think it tastes really good and it holds its shape very well!

I tried the NFSC recipe for the first time last night. Pretty good turn out, but I have a question for you all.

I baked all of them to a light golden brown on the edges, the last batch I over cooked and they were golden brown all over and tasted soooo much better than the properly cooked ones.

Any opinions on what color they should be? I know that sounds kindof crazy because it school they always said bake until they are done icon_razz.gif

Just a tip I have found using real almond flavoring vs imitation makes better tasting cookies.
I use the no fail sugar cookie recipe from here and like it.
