These are so yummy and simple to make! Cut them in cute shapes with your choice of cookie cutters and decorate with colourful icing to make the perfect homemade gift.
I love sugar cookies. They are so tasty, the soft centre but crunchy edge is amazing. These cookies are so versatile, fun to decorate and perfect for any occasion.
The batch featured in this post I made for valentines day so of course they are hearts but you can make them for what ever occasion, picking different shaped cookie cutters.
I have used a mixture of royal icing and fondant icing to decorate my cookies. You can use whatever you wish to decorate, or just eat them plain. They still taste great with no icing.
