Who doesn’t like shaped Sugar Cookies?
This basic sugar cookie dough is virtually indestructible. Roll out the dough and cut with Easter cookie cutters (can be used for any seasopn by varying the cutters). I must have 60 or 70 cookie cutters, from Christmas, to Easter, to summertime, to Sesame Street, to dinosaurs and many, many more.
Some sugar cookies are first iced and then decorated with sugar crystals. I prefer to just use the sugar crystals and seasonal decorations (e.g. The chicks and ducks in the picture have miniature chicks for their eyes!)
