There’s something timeless about cutout sugar cookies during the holidays—the dusting of flour on the counter, the joy of choosing shapes, and the anticipation of decorating each one. These cookies are soft, lightly sweet, and created to be shared, bringing warmth and togetherness to every holiday gathering.
Preheat oven to 325°F
Using an electric mixer on medium speed, blend butter, sugar, and vanilla until fluffy.
Mix in flour and milk.
If too dry, add milk, 1 teaspoon at a time. Dough should hold together but be soft and pliable like pie crust.
Knead on a lightly floured surface. Be careful not to use too much flour, or the dough will become too stiff and result in a tough cookie.
Roll dough out on surface, and cut out shapes with cookie cutters.
Using a spatula, place cookie cutouts on ungreased cookie sheet, and bake for 15-18 minutes until lightly golden in color. The cookies will crisp up when out of the oven.
Cool on wire racks.
Frost and decorate as desired.
When choosing your butter, consider a non-soy vegan butter because the soy flavor dominates the delicate flavor of the cookies.
These cookies can be made for any holiday that has a cookie-cutter: Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Easter, Halloween, etc.
