Cutout Sugar Cookies

















The original recipe was from a neighbor of my sister's, Simone. The cookie is not overly sweet. I did not have the instruction for how thick to roll the dough out. The cookies turned out perhaps a tad too thick... I chose raw sugar for the sprinkles, as was baking for a wedding shower I was hosting.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 4 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda, dissolved in the milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 4 cups flour
  • pinch of salt
Directions
Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, milk and baking soda, vanilla, flour and salt. Mix well and chill in the refrigerator until firm.
Cut the dough in half and roll each half on a lightly floured surface and shape with desired cookie cutters.













Place on a parchment-lined cookie sheets and bake at 375-degree oven for 10-12 minutes (until turn just slightly golden.
