I have been making this sugar cookie recipe with my mom since I was little. I loved cutting out all the different shapes, not to mention eating the cookies! 🙂
In a large bowl, sift flour and confectioners sugar, then add the softened butter and salt. The softer the butter the easier it will be to mix. Using a pastry blender or fork, mix until crumbly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, vanilla and milk and then add to the flour and butter mixture. Stir together using a mixing spoon until combined.
Layout plastic wrap and transfer dough on top of wrap. Wrap into ball and place in refrigerator. Let the dough refrigerate at least an hour.
When you are ready to cutout the cookies, pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Split the dough in half and rollout on a lightly floured surface. Use the cookie cutters of your choice to create shapes and transfer to a parchment lined sheet pan. Form the remaining dough scraps into ball and repeat until all the dough is used.
Bake at 375 for 8 minutes and transfer to wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining cookie dough. Decorate your cookies as desired.
Hope you enjoy!
