Soft Frosted Sugar Cookies

I am sure you have seen these cookies if you read other food blogs. When I made them for our monthly work birthday celebration, I felt like I was the last blogger in the world to make them.

And boy, was I missing out! For years, every time I saw this recipe pop up in a blog, I thought to myself “man, I really need to make those soon”. Then something else would pop up and these cookies just never made it to the top of my baking list.

When I asked my guys who had birthdays what they liked, one said she liked anything, one said she loved chocolate, and one said he liked anything but chocolate. I was stumped. I wasn’t sure where to go with it, so I started searching through my cookbooks and saved recipes.

I was in the mood to bake cookies so these cookies were a natural fit. To say these were a hit would be an understatement. Some of the people on my team ate more than one during staff meeting that day. And staff meeting is at 9am. I’m glad I can provide such a well balanced breakfast for my team

I had planned ahead and saved one lone cookie for Hubby to have. I knew he’d be disappointed if I had baked something and didn’t let him try it. He instantly asked for an entire batch so he could have another one.

These cookies are just so well known and so well liked, it’s a no brainer. You can customize the frosting color and the sprinkles to make them themed for any occasion. They would be a huge hit at a 4th of July party this week. In fact, I might be whipping up another batch to take over to some friends house… Don’t be like me and put off making these cookies. Believe me, you’ll wish you had made them sooner!
