{The Girl Kyle Bakes} World Renowned Sugar Cookies
I know I'm mostly about the cupcakes and I occasionally share some muffins recipes with you too, but these are some of the most phenomenal sugar cookies. I just had to spread the cheer because I know December is the month where those of you who don't normally bake will be warming up your ovens. (For the first time in months.) You'll be sharing treats with the office, friends, family and maybe you're one of those crazy people who makes endless plates of mixed cookies. You'll need to add this your repertoire for all your holiday baking.
This recipe comes from a family friend and when Cheryl bakes, it's a special treat. She's a wonderful baker, the kind who makes caramel from scratch! Long story short, bookmark this page my friends!
