    Super Easy 1-Hour Breadstick Recipe

    Super Soft Sugar Cookie Recipe + Frosting

    Super Soft Sugar Cookies with Buttercream Frosting I have tried a lot of sugar cookie recipes in my day.  I have tried the one from my Betty Crocker cookbook.  I have tried the Lofthouse copycat recipe.  I have tried the recipes with sour cream.  But I always fall back on this recipe.  I got this from a great friend years ago, who used to have my little kids over to her house to decorate sugar cookies.  We have since moved apart from each other, but every time I make sugar cookies, I think of Lori and how much I love her.  So I guess this recipe also has a little…
