The Best Christmas Sugar Cutout Cookies, Our Christmas tradition is to get together with family and friends several weekends in a row and bake, bake, bake Cutout sugar cookies are a must, and my best friend, Alice came up with this fantastic recipe One secret to great taste is to roll the cookies out on powdered sugar instead of flour The taste is fantastic!, This is by far the best recipe It is so easy to make, easy to roll out and once rolled out the cookie cutters used, the cookies don’t spread They bake like they should The best part is the taste They are delicious I made two recipes, one for the kids to decorate and one for the adults to enjoy I tossed all my other cookie cut out recipes in the bin , Great sugar cookies I made this recipe for my husband used 1 tsp orange flavoring instead of orange juice The dough was easy to work with and the cookies maintained their shape during baking used cream cheese icing because I dont like super sweet icing Overall, good recipe A keeper
