Скачать или смотреть Classic Sugar Cookies

These sugar cookies are light and delicate, just what a sugar cookie should be. The tender, buttery dough can be rolled out and cut with any shaped cutter you wish. The cut cookies are topped with sugar, but you can omit this step if you'd like to decorate them with royal icing.
The trick to baking tender butter cookies is not working the dough too much. The more times you roll out the dough, the more you develop the gluten in the flour, making the cookies hard. When you're cutting out cookies, you're going to end up with a certain amount of scraps. You can collect these scraps and re-roll them, but those cookies will be tougher, so re-roll as little as possible.
