These are WITHOUT A DOUBT my favorite favorite favorite (get the point?) Sugar Cookie recipe! It is thee best! The flavor is delish and they are SOFT. I am all about soft sugar cookies! I honestly cannot give proper credit to the great person that came up with this recipe, because I dont know who he/she is. A couple of years ago I was searching the net for a sugar cookie recipe and this one I tried. I fell madly in-love. I copied down the recipe onto one of my handy lil recipe cards and that was that. So whoever you are out there that came up with this, I just want you to know how much I love you!
This is my ‘go-to’ recipe for sugar cookies for any holiday. I make them for Halloween, Christmas and of course, Valentines! Whenever I make these, I have always used a simple Betty Crocker frosting to ice them with. This time I thought it would be neat to really do something different when decorating them. I decided to melt some white chocolate bark and dye it pink. I piped pink hearts, and words with the chocolate onto a wax-paper lined cookie sheet and let them harden in the fridge. Once I iced the cookies, I put the chocolate hearts and words on top. I love how they turned out : )

These look so good! I am weak around a good sugar cookie. You probably know this, but there is a really good brand of frosted sugar cookies called “Lofthouse cookies”…I usually see them in places like Walmart or Target.
