Best Merry Maker Christmas Sugar Cookies Recipes
CHRISTMAS SUGAR COOKIES
There's nothing like soft sugar cookies at Christmas. I make these each year and I remember making them with my mom when I was little. This recipe is from a 1990 special heritage holiday edition of Betty Crocker. Try frosting these with Easy Creamy Decorating Frosting which I also have the recipe for. Or just put sprinkles on them before baking. Time does not include time it takes to roll out and cut cookies. This makes anywhere from 5 dozen to 7 dozen cookies depending on how thin you roll it and how many times you re-roll it.

CLASSIC CHRISTMAS SUGAR COOKIE CUTOUTS
If your Christmas season gets so hectic that you only have time to bake one batch of cookies, we suggest that this be the one you make. This is the kind of sugar cookie that generations of bakers have relied on, with a buttery texture and just-right tenderness. The accompanying glaze requires just three ingredients and is a standby that you can just as easily rely on when you need a glaze on other cookie varieties. It sets up nicely and is ideal for decorating, tinting well and spreading easily. The process of making sugar cookie cutouts is as essential to the holidays as opening gifts and singing Christmas songs, and if you can clear some time out on your schedule, it's a relaxing activity, too. Pull out all your favorite cookie cutters, whether they're classic hearts and stars or cute winter characters like reindeer and penguins, and bake up a batch-this recipe yields 60 cookies. When it's time to decorate, you have a blank canvas to indulge your style and creativity. Some bakers like to go all in on color and whimsy, while others prefer more simple and elegant finishing flourishes-it's all up to you. What we can promise is that no matter what shapes you cut them into or how you decorate them, you'll end up with cookies that are as delicious as they are beautiful.

CHRISTMAS SUGAR COOKIES
This is my all-time favorite Christmas sugar cookie recipe. The addition of sour cream makes them extra moist. To dress them up, I drizzle or dip the cookies in tinted white chocolate, then sprinkle them with crushed candy canes. —Lisa MacLean, Winslow, Arizona
