I’ve shared this recipe with you all multiple times but it still my tried and true, my go to, holiday cookie recipe. I love any excuse to make my famous sugar cookies, and since I’m attending an early Thanksgiving celebration this weekend I had to make them. I always say that kids love that different shapes and the brightly colored frosting but let’s be honest, I think the adults like them even more. But what’s not to love? Thick and fluffy sugar cookies topped with a sweet buttercream frosting – they’re a little bite of heaven. I think the turkeys are my favorite.
These cookies are a little time consuming, but it’s always worth it. I make the dough the night before and store in the refrigerator so it has time to harden a bit. Once cut out, I frost with a piping bag, and trust me when I say this, I think piping the frosting on is much easier than using a knife. The cookies turn out gorgeous and are always a crowd favorite. Make a batch this Thanksgiving, they pair perfectly with pie!
