Rolled Sugar Cookies with Buttercream Frosting
Last year my family and I taste-tested a few different rolled sugar cookie recipes and this was our favorite! This recipe hails from my mom’s best friend, Jan Walters. Jan sadly passed away from cancer when I was in middle school, so I didn’t get the chance to talk about food and cooking with her. She was a great cook with some awesome recipes!
Making and frosting rolled sugar cookies has proven to be a great creative outlet during the pandemic. I am also including an easy buttercream frosting recipe from one of my favorite food bloggers, Mel’s Kitchen Cafe, that sets up well and has a great flavor. I think the cookies get even better the longer they sit with frosting on them and they freeze beautifully too. Our family has some silly cookie cutters…who doesn’t love a Christmas elephant or hedgehog?
