I really love this particular sugar cookie recipe because not only is it super simple to make, but it really packs a big punch when you give them as gifts. I mean, they look like they are a lot of work. But that couldn’t be farther from the truth.
You just mix the dough, roll & then coat in the sprinkles. Flaten them out a little bit & then freeze the uncooked cookies for a few minutes before baking. This helps them from spreading when they bake -so don’t skip this step.
