Old and young alike love these big, moist cookies, they are good "keepers". They stay soft for days if properly stored in an air-tight container. I think the buttermilk is the key ingredient.
Sugar Cookies
Basic Sugar Cookies – Tried and True Since 1960
This is my backwoods Mississippi grandmother’s own customized sugar cookie dough recipe. Royal icing is recommended, but these are also wonderful without icing. Very light and buttery. My mom stuck with it, and we grew up eating the raw cookie dough before snacking on the cookies at holidays. This will always be my basic cookie dough recipe. It’s very quick and easy to make a batch of this dough and to customize. These are common ingredients easily found in most sparsely-stocked kitchens. You don’t have to be a master chef to get a batch of these cookies to turn out well.
Sugar Cookie Bars
Real rich, buttery sweet sugar cookie in bar form!! Easy to make and kids can make as well. Great for bake sales, picnics, parties and traveling! Decorate with sprinkles, sanding sugars, etc. if desired.
Dianne’s Pumpkin Cookie Cups
These sugar cookie cups filled with a sweet and creamy pumpkin filling will be the cutest addition to your Halloween or Thanksgiving dessert table! Sprinkle with additional cinnamon or chopped nuts for decoration if desired.
Champagne Cookies
My favorite cookie is the champagne cookie that you can get at an Italian bakery. After trying a few different recipes and adjusting them, I liked this one a lot. This is such a fun cookie. Great for New Year’s Eve! They are wonderful with a glass of champagne.
Mini Chip Sugar Cookies
These are good and a nice change from chocolate chip cookies. (To sour milk for using in place of buttermilk, use 1 1/2 teaspoons vinegar plus milk to equal 1/2 cup.)
Great Gram’s Sugar Cookies
This recipe has been handed down for generations in my family. Hope you like them as much as we do!
The Original Home-Baked Girl Scout Cookie
This is the original Girl Scout Cookie from back in 1922. They are a sugar cookie cut into trefoil shapes (like the Girl Scout emblem), and sprinkled with sugar crystals.
Philippine-Made Sugar Cookie
This is just a very easy-to-make recipe which can make you feel sleepless craving for more. This is very ideal especially if combined with ice cream!
Lipardo’s Puto Seco
I used to enjoy my own recipes but it’s more satisfying if I’ll share it to others. This cookie recipe is one of my favorite Filipino foods which is tasty, nutritious, and affordable. It’s so delicious and quick melting to the mouth up to the last bite…
Frosted Reindeer Cookies
Just shape the cookie dough into a triangular log, and slice for fun reindeer cookies ready in a flash.
Chewy Strawberry Sugar Cookies
We were given a lot of strawberries and I had to figure out what to do with them so they didn’t go bad. So I came up with this recipe. I hope everyone likes it as much as my kids did. I prefer fresh strawberries over strawberry extract because it gives it a more fruitful flavor. But the extract is good as well. You decide.
Spur Sugar Cookies
This was my great-great grandmother’s recipe. We make it every year and ice the cookies, rather than sugaring them!
Grandma Sheets’ Sugar Cookies
This is my Grandma’s recipe — very light in color even though there are eggs in it. We lived in southern Ohio — besides being coarse and thick they are not terribly sweet, even with the sugar on top. They’re the best! (I have to add up to 9 cups of flour because of humidity where I live.)
Sugar Cookies III
Delicious sugar cookies. You can vary the flavor of these cookies by using lemon or almond extract instead of the orange extract.
