Jessica says
I made this cookies for a get together with my friends and they loved them. They even asked me to make them more for next time we hang out. Thanks so much for this recipe.

And the frosting, how many days I. Advance before Christmas can I make and how to store, counter or fridge?
Stephanie Brubaker says
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.
Mar baht says
hi. Help. Can the dough be made and chilled on Tuesday and cookies made and frosted Wednesday for Christmas Day? Would it affect the taste or anything g else. Help!!!!! 😉
Stephanie Brubaker says
I think that would be just fine 🙂 enjoy!
Lyndsie says
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!
Stephanie Brubaker says
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!

No rolling, no cutters, no mess on the counters sounds good to me! Nice job!
Hayley @ The Domestic Rebel says
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 !!!
