Special Notes
These classic sugar cookies are perfect for any occasion. The addition of colored sprinkles makes them festive and fun. The key to tender cookies is not overmixing the dough. These cookies keep well in an airtight container for up to a week. For extra sweetness, you can roll the dough balls in additional sugar before baking. This recipe is perfect for decorating with icing or frosting.
