Yum! One of my favorite things about the holiday season! Simple sugar cookies--sometimes with a little bit of simple powdered sugar and water icing and sometimes just plain. Cut into fun holiday shapes and filling the house with their delicious smell. Sugar cookies are so simple to make and their flavor is so simple (and simply delicious!) that they are a classic cookie I always look forward to. They are vanilla-y and thin enough for that satisfying crunch but not too thin that they are all crunch--there is resistance in the bite, too. I don't remember many Christmases helping my mother make cookies but I'm sure it happened--we have the cookie cutters to prove it! But one thing I know is that enjoying sugar cookies piled into a tin is one of my favorite ways of celebrating the holidays.
