Sugar Cookies

it’s rainy, it’s cold, it’s an ideal day to be in the kitchen baking & icing.

i’ve got a confession:
when brooke suggested we make sugar cookies. i nearly screamed for joy.

i’ve heard of these incredible cookies for months & here she was offering to make me a batch. … .in.my.own.kitchen.
i couldn’t say no, that would be rude.

these cookies are filled with everything you need. LOVE, sugar & butter.
they are prefect-buttery, crunchy & you can’t mess them up if you tried.
