HOW TO MAKE CHRISTMAS SUGAR COOKIES

This sugar cookie recipe is unlike any you've probably seen before.  You not only add powdered sugar into the dough, but there is no need to roll out the cookies!

The cookie dough can be made in advance. When you are ready to bake, simply roll the dough into small balls and then push down into a mini star cookie cutter. 

I've shared my favorite every day sugar cookie recipe here , and that recipe is still our go-to if you plan to roll out cookies and decorate them with fun holiday shapes. 

Looking for a festive and yummy sugar cookie? This is your ticket. The steps to making these soft sugar cookies are not difficult. You'll do a few different steps than traditional sugar cookies. And no rolling out!
