I’ll be honest, I was extremely hesitant to try sugar cookies from a childhood of failed Ez-oven disasters with cheap sugar cookie recipes that were better as dough than baked good. But damn, when I saw the pic of this recipe — I knew it was time to throw caution to the wind and get back out into the cookie scene. It was easy, simple, and by golly my taste buds felt like they were dancing on a chocolate rainbow. Thanks for this. Truly.
HAHAHA you totally just made our night! Thanks Ryan– glad you liked them ;).
“In a shallow bowl place remaining 1/4 cup sugar.” Remaining??? So, the sugar mixed with the butter should be 1 1/4 cups? Or is this an additional 1/4 cup sugar for the dip? Thanks –
Sorry! I fixed the ingredients. It should be 1 1/4 cup sugar with one cup in the dough and the remaining 1/4 cup used for flattening the cookies.
Thanks Mandy! ????
Thanks!
Of course!
These look AMAZING.
