Ingredients:
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
3 eggs
1 Tbsp milk
1 tsp baking soda
4 – 4½ cups flour
Colored sugar sprinkles and cinnamon/sugar for decorating cookies
Electric Mixer
Cookie Cutters
Parchment Paper
Directions:
Cream the sugar and butter using the electric mixer.
Add eggs and milk, mix well
In another bowl mix the baking soda and flour.
SLOWLY add this mixture to the wet ingredients. You will need to mix this until it is smooth and creamy.
Separate finished dough into three pieces, form them into balls.
Wrap each ball tightly in plastic wrap to refrigerate overnight.
Set dough out to thaw for a few hours prior to rolling it
Flour the counter top or table where you will be rolling the cookies (add flour as necessary to avoid cookies sticking)
Roll each dough ball out thin
Using selected cookie cutters you are now ready to cut!
Cut them as close together as possible.
Place on baking sheets (line with parchment to avoid sticking)
Decorate cookies with sugar and other toppings
Bake at 350 degrees for 6-8 minutes
Remove sheets from oven and allow to cool completely!
Enjoy! (Store leftovers for up to several weeks in the freezer)
