Step 1: Add the 4 sticks (2 cups) of butter and 2 cups of white sugar to your mixer. Sugar cookies used to be Christmas only for us, and now we make them all year long. The cookies turn out delicious and keep the shape of whatever cookie cutter you use. We finally found the best sugar cookie recipe.

Some were delicious, but spread so much you couldn’t tell what the cookie shape was supposed to be. Some didn’t taste good, but held their shape. We have gone through many different recipes. Nancy and I have continued that tradition. We would sit around the table, listen to Christmas Carols, and frost cookies. One of the first things she would make was sugar cookies. Our mom would begin baking two weeks before Christmas to make sure she got everything done. When Nancy and I were little, our favorite time of the year was Christmas (okay, it still is). We have The Best Sugar Cookie Recipe ever and we can’t wait to share it so that everyone can have super yummy homemade sugar cookies that always keep their shape.
