We make these simple and easy sugar cookies all the time. They are one of my favorites since childhood. If you thought about it, you could easily create a cookie theme for all 12 months!
For these sugar cookies I recommend you use a stand mixer for this. It helps to get the ingredients mixed in evenly.
I also watch the mixer pretty close so I don't over mix. I like using a cutter for these so I can keep all the sizes the same. We do refrigerate the dough.
They are so simple to make and turn out as buttery little bits of heaven. Now, I'm lucky in that I have a boatload of cookie cutters.
For these cookies we used the heart mold. You could also do the exact same decoration with a round 3" cutter, or even a square cutter. These cookies keep their shapes when baking.
