These sugar cookies are great for cookie cutters as they do not spread while baking. I like to cut out squares or circles because they are easy to decorate. These I made for Halloween. At Christmas time squares can be decorated into packages and circles into ornaments. I use dough spacers to roll the dough which keeps all the cookies uniform in thickness. I use royal icing to decorate.
