Sugar Cookies

The first recipe on Rose & Jill's are moist and sweet.....SUGAR COOKIES! These sugar cookies are very easy, fun, and delicious to make. These cookies are great to make with family and friends. The thing I love about sugar cookies are you can be creative and decorate them any way you want. In this batch of cookies there were flowers, stars, hearts, BYU-Ys, circles, gingerbread men, and much more. We decorated the cookies with colored frosting, and sprinkles. You can never go wrong with sprinkles!
