      I wouldn’t make it more than a couple days in advance. Store in the fridge but allow to come to room temp before spreading on the cookies.

    I followed this recipe perfectly, but it definitely didn’t turn out like everyone’s going nuts over. They’re not bad, but the dough was extremely sticky, even after sitting in the fridge for over 3 hours AND adding an extra cup of flour. Definitely a messy kind of cookie dough that isn’t easily flattened with a cup. However, the frosting recipe is utter perfection and I will be saving it and using it on my next cake!

      Sorry you had trouble with the dough. It is a bit sticky but usually I just dust the bottom of a glass with flour to flatten the cookies and it does the trick. I’m glad you loved the frosting! I could eat it with a spoon. Thanks for the feedback, Lyndsie!

    Puffy, fat, pillowy sugar cookies are the BEST kind. Especially when they’re slathered in icing and tons of pretty sprinkles!

    I love a good sugar cookie that doesn’t require any extra work like rolling 🙂 That’s probably the lazy speaking for me though!!! I love how puffy and soft your cookies look!!! I’m not having a baby, but I would love a plate of those passed to me too !!!
