Sugar Cookies
Maddie & I made these sugar cookies for her pre-school class last week & they were a hit! They're crisp & chewy. I think they're the perfect rolled sugar cookie. I found the recipe on my favorite site, allrecipes.com. The frosting we used is my favorite cupcake frosting from a guest on Martha Stewart.
