#Good sugar cookie recipes how to

So when I tell you that this recipe makes the best, most perfect sugar cookies, you can truly believe me. When it comes to baking, I am definitely NOT an expert.

*sigh* So for the moment, I’m stuck with a big red patch of carpet on the floor right next to my office chair! If you know how to get red gel icing stains out of carpet, please feel free to leave me some tips in the comments below!! How to Make Perfect Sugar Cookies And of course she was nervous to see how I’d react to the GIANT, bright red stain on the carpet… Normally I’d be angry, but how could I get mad when it was clearly an accident and she was already so sad!? She looked like she was going to cry from the disappointment. She was so excited to eat her delicious snowflake cookie, and it was ruined. She had the biggest look of disappointment on her face and her bottom lip was puffing out. My poor daughter stared at the cookie on the floor and just kept apologizing. That little cookie rolled about 2 feet along the carpet leaving a straight line of bright red icing and THEN it landed face down on the carpet. She was so excited watching me decorate that cookie, and (just saying…) I was actually pretty impressed with my quick, free-handed icing skills too! When I was done, I handed the cookie back to her, and I said, “Now sweetie, this icing is really messy, so whatever you do, do NOT drop the cookie!”Īnd before I could even finish the sentence, her little fingers fumbled and she dropped her pretty little snowflake cookie just covered in wet gel icing on the floor. I iced a beautiful little snowflake on the cookie she brought me. Yesterday she chose the bright red glitter gel icing that I used on the Chocolate Covered Strawberry Hearts way back when. So every day after school this week while I’m trying to squeeze in just 10 more minutes of work, my middle daughter has been bringing me a cookie, choosing a tube of icing from the box and asking me to decorate it for her. We have a small kitchen, so I keep all the leftover icing tubes from other treats we’ve made in a box upstairs in my office. But my 4 year old LOVES her sweets and she insisted on having icing on hers (they’re delicious with and without icing!).

So this is the day I’ve been having… I didn’t bother icing this batch of our perfect sugar cookies because they taste amazing all on their own.
