December Recipe Challenge: Easy No-Chill Cut-Out Sugar Cookies

Happy December, friends! It’s time to announce this month’s recipe challenge! This month, we’re making my Easy No-Chill Cut-Out Sugar Cookies. The perfect sugar cookie recipe to bake and decorate for any holiday! They’re chewy and perfectly sweetened with a simple sugar icing that complements the cookies so tastefully. Made with cold ingredients, there’s no need to chill the dough. So fast, so easy!

Tips for This Recipe

  • Make sure your butter, half and half and eggs are COLD.
  • Do not over-beat the dough so the ingredients stay cold.
  • If the dough seems too wet, add an additional 1/4 cup of flour at a time until it comes together smoothly.
  • If you don’t have half and half, you can substitute heavy cream or whole milk.
  • Substitutes for the almond extract are vanilla extract or peppermint extract.
  • Rolling the dough out to ¼ inch thickness will help the dough bake into a chewier cookie. The thinner the dough, the crispier the cookie. The thicker, the chewier. Customize to your liking!
  • Cookie dough can be made up to 5 days in advance stored, covered, in the refrigerator. Once ready to bake, allow cold sugar cookie dough to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes so it’s easier to roll out.
