Best Cookies to Bake for Christmas:
I love these Best Ever Sugar Cookies for Christmas. They make a big batch, they keep well and everyone loves them. My Chocolate Chip Biscotti and Pecan Pie Cookies are always on the list as well.
All of these cookies will stay fresh for at least 10 days to 2 weeks if stored in an airtight container. If you are looking for sugar cookie frosting, this one’s a favorite!
Can you freeze sugar cookie dough?
You can freeze this cookie dough. Scoop into balls and place on a lined baking sheet. Freeze for 2 hours. Place into a zip top freezer bag and freeze up to 3 months. Remove from freezer as needed and bake 15-17 minutes or until lightly browned.
These simple sugar cookies are my go to cookie for every occasion. They are so good with a cup of coffee or a tall glass of milk.
Great for potlucks, celebrations and for anytime the craving strikes for something sweet. You are going to want to print this one out and keep it in your recipe box or pin it to your Cookie & Desserts boards on Pinterest!
