Sugar Cookies

My daughter's design ^^
Originally from MarthaStewart

This is my kids favorite cookies. Why? Because they can participate in all the process since making the dough, rolling, cutting into shape until put in the oven ^^ But their most favorite part is, of course, when they decorate them with icing and all sorts of sprinkle .. lick their finger, eat some, decorate some. Good moment ^^ This recipe is not too sweet and hold well the shape after baked. Love it!
