Thank you so much, Sher.  It's the best recipe I have come across, and it's easy.  I have also tried Karen's brown sugar and cinnamon cookie...I really liked it.  Would love to try the chocolate cut outs sometime.

This is the same cookie recipe I use!  The same place too!!  I am going to try her other flavors as well for my baby boy cookies!

Thanks for responding back!  You are awesome!

Sher, this is the recipe I use. 

This recipe is from Karen's Cookies at karenscookies.net .   This is the best sugar cookie recipe I have found.  Easy to make and they taste awesome!!

 

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup superfine sugar, or granulated sugar, processed in blender or food processor for 30 seconds
• ½ tsp. Salt
• 1 large egg
• 1 large egg yolk
• 2 tsp. Vanilla extract
• ½ tsp. Almond extract or emulsion, optional
• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour.

Cream butter, sugar and salt until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes with mixer set at medium speed.  Add yolk, beat well. Add whole egg, vanilla and optional almond extract and beat until well-incorporated. Add flour; beat at low speed just until flour is mixed in; do not overmix. Divide dough in halves or thirds and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least one hour and up to 2 days.

 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Dust work surface and rolling pin with flour. Roll dough to 1/4" thick, sprinkling with additional flour as needed to prevent sticking. Cut into desired shapes and place on parchment or silicone-lined pans. Bake in preheated oven until cookies appear dry on the surface and are light golden brown on the edges, about 10 minutes (very large cookies may take up to 12 or 13 minutes). Remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks and cool completely before decorating.

 

Makes about 2 dozen 3" cookies.

Kathy, I sent you a message and accidentally hit entered before I could include a personal message, How Rude of ME! LOL.

Your cookies are beautiful.  I was wondering if your cookie recipe is different than mine.  I'm always looking for additional decorating cookie recipes because I make many types of cookies.  I need a variety of recipes and tastes.
