It would not be any holiday without some festive sugar cookies. I decided to surprise Nathan with a snowflake themed batch today! Let me warn you, these cookies take time and effort. They are not for the impatient. I adore the icy blue and white pallet for Christmas. It is so far off from traditional red and green but somehow still seems so festive! I have made lots of different sugar cookie recipes over the years and found this one VERY easy to work with and tasty!

Click -cookie recipe Katrina describes these perfectly "This is the BEST sugar cookie recipe- no chilling the dough, cookies keep their shape when baked, soft and flavorful, perfect for decorating."

Click-royal icing recipe I like this recipe because it does not require meringue powder!
