Soft Sugar Cookie Recipe

These Soft Sugar Cookies are sure to become a staple in your household. I liken them to a great chocolate chip cookie dough but without the use of brown sugar. They’re soft, chewy and have are a little crisp around the edge. They have an added crunch if you choose to roll them in sugar (a classic step with these cookies).

You can also dress them up or leave them plain and you’ll get the same delicious result. No matter what the occasion these soft sugar cookies are always devoured at events or parties.

But one of the things I love about soft sugar cookies is that you can make them your own and add sweet goodies to the mix to make them unique. They can pretty much take on a whack of flavours depending on what, or who, you are making them for.
