    Soft Cut Out Sugar Cookies

    Published: Dec 4, 2018 ยท Modified: Nov 1, 2022 by Megan Porta, comfort food recipe creator and founder of Pip and Ebby, known for easy family meals and Instant Pot desserts. ยท This post may contain affiliate links.

    This truly is the best sugar cookie recipe, it turns out soft and perfect every single time. Easy to ice and fun for the whole family to make.

    This is Alli from Longbourn Farm and I am so excited to be here on Pip and Ebby today sharing a classic at our home during the holidays โ€“ my Soft Cut Out Sugar Cookie Recipe. These cookies are fast to whip up with no refrigeration step!! And not only taste amazing but are a cinch to ice.

    In my post, I include a recipe for the classic sugar cookie icing we usually use but also a link to my favorite buttercream recipe. Iโ€™ll show you pictures of both methods and talk you through a little bit about each one.

    This cut out sugar cookie recipe is such a fun one to make with kids and family members. I love seeing everyoneโ€™s unique icing skills and watching how the kids roll the dough and choose their Christmas shapes.

    Iโ€™ll cover any questions you have about how to ice sugar cookies, how to store sugar cookies, and even about freezing sugar cookies and dough.

    The possibilities for decorating sugar cookies are endless. You can get ultra-fancy with your icing, or keep it basic like we do. I love letting the kids pick out some sprinkles every year to use on batches of sugar cookies.

    I hope you and your family love this recipe as much as we do! Happy Holidayโ€™s from Longbourn Farm!
