Sharing is caring!

During the holidays I do tons of baking and cooking making. I recently created some quick and easy sugar cookies that turn out perfectly every single time!

Sugar cookies are one of those special cookies that brings you back to your childhood. My momma used to love baking and when I would come home from school, I can always remember there being some type of treat to enjoy while I did my homework.

The secret to making your cookies bake evenly though is a very simple purchase – parchment paper!

I order mine on Amazon because I get such a great deal on such a huge roll. It comes in very handy during the holidays when I am baking, baking, baking away my day!

I love using these cookies as the base of my sugar cookie fruit pizzas (just click here to get that recipe)

So  — how easy are these quick and easy sugar cookies? Literally you will have mouthwatering delicious cookies on a plate in less than 30 minutes.

You don't have to freeze or chill the dough. The minute you are done mixing it up, then you drop it on the cookie sheet, and voila! They are ready to go.

Speaking of cookie sheets, I love buying the pro size from Amazon. Kitchenaid has a bigger version and it has not changed colors on me or anything and holds up so well.
