Mama's Delicious Sugar Cookies and Buttercream Frosting image

These cookies are good without the frosting, but taste FANTASTIC with the frosting. These can be made for any occasion and are always elegant, yet casual. (depending on how you decorate them) I promise that you will love this recipe just as much as I do. Work best with cookie cutters.
