Cut Out Cookies

[EloiseWeenie]

Please share your most delicious cut out cookie dough recipe. I have a sugar cookie dough that I like, but I don't love. It doesn't have to be sugar, I'm open to any new recipes.

Thanks!

I've made several batches this season and they've been a total hit with everyone.

I made these cookies last week and they were really good and the best part was that they stayed soft for a long time.

I used cookie cutters. They did puff out a bit but I think to fix the problem is to cut out the shapes and then let them chill for a bit in the fridge so that they will keep their shapes. I just skipped this step though because I was in a hurry.

I made some with frosting and some without. They both tasted great but I liked the ones with the frosting a bit better but it might be a bit sweet for some.
