Circle L’s Sugar Cookies

These cookies are super easy and good. Use them for what ever occasion you have.

Last week I blogged about Cowboy Cookies and I had a follower ask if I had a Sugar Cookie recipe. Well it just happens that I do. Since it is Valentine’s week, these cookies come in really handy.
They are easy to make and the kids love them. They are very moist.
These cookies can be rolled out and cut into any shape you need. You can use what ever color and flavor you would like for the frosting.
