This is my favorite sugar cookie recipe. It has just the right amount of sweetness and the cookies can be soft or crisp depending on how thin you roll them and how long you bake them. I like soft sugar cookies so I usually roll them about 1/4 inch thick and bake them just until they loose the glossy shine of the dough (just until they start to turn golden on the bottom). I usually frost them with cream cheese frosting. They are great for Valentines Day, Halloween, Easter or whenever you're in the mood.
