    Cut Out Cookies

    Making cut out cookies is a lot of fun, and I love picking out fun cookie cutters and rolling out the dough. Try designing the frosted tops with this easy-to-use royal icing recipe for clean, detailed designs, or swirl on some fluffy vanilla buttercream for a soft and sweet finish.

    If you are making sugar cookies, this is the best sugar cookie recipe—it's practically failproof! Or, get festive and try Santa Face Cookies; it's a classic holiday sugar cookie recipe that is sturdy for sharing.

    You'll find more awesome cookie recipes in our collections of Drop Cookies, Bar Cookies, and Christmas Cookies.
