Ingredients

I tested another sugar cookie recipe along with this one, but this one made the cut. Let explain why! This recipe made the cookies more like a cake. They're light, fluffy, and melts in your mouth! I took them to my job as a early Valentine's gift. That basket was empty by the time I left, and I had request for more cookies and other desserts. So while that other recipe was good this one is amazing! It's definitely going in my recipe box, and once you try these it will be in yours too!!
