Sugar Cookie Recipe {The Preppy Strawberry}
 
Sugar Cookies are a favorite in my house so today I'm sharing with you my favorite sugar cookie recipe.   I’m not sure who originally passed along this recipe to me but it’s one that I’ve been making for years! 
The dough is perfect and so easy to work with especially when you are making cut out cookies!

Sugar Cookie Recipe {The Preppy Strawberry}
Roll dough out on floured surface to about 1/4 to 1/3 thick and then use a spatula to lift cookies onto greased (I used Pam) cookie sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 7-8 min.  You will want to keep an eye on the cookies the cookies might look like they still need to cook but you do not want the edges to start browning. 
 
Let cookies cool on the cookie sheet for about 5 min and then move to the cooling racks. 
Cool cookies then frost
