Can the icing be refrigerated for later use? I’m seeing that people froze baked cookies? How does that work? Also, after baking, how long do the cookies stay fresh once baked?

Can’t wait to try the buttercream frosting recipe. I’ve tried dozens of recipes, but I’m never totally satisfied. And these cookies are just so adorable!

Just a heads up. I tried this recipe and the batter was so crumbly it was like chunky sand. I double checked the recipe multiple times to see if I missed something but I followed it correctly. I didn’t see any other reviews mention this but I ended up adding almost 1/2 cup milk a tbsp at a time to get it to a consistently that would stick together. Also it doesn’t specify if the butter should be salted or unsalted.

The cookies were kind of bland by themselves, a good texture but not a typical sugar cookie. I did a meringue buttercream icing and that added a lot of sweetness to it so together they weren’t well and it was not overly sweet. All in all though I am going to try a different recipe next to compare.

Your website states that these can be frozen. Neice having sweet 16 I want to make mardi gras masks for the party but I’m going to need time. So after I bake the cookies and they cool should I decorate before freezing? Or freeze, thaw, decorate? Thanks

What food coloring did you use to get such a dark blue? Mine did not come out so dark and it made the frost kinda runny What brand would you suggest? And how much should I use? Thanks!!

when recipes call for shortening, as your frosting does, can this be butter or does it have to be Crisco? And what do you use? Thanks.

Thanks for sharing the recipe! It worked out great for me. I wanted to ask, how long can you freeze the cookies? and how long if you keep them in an airtight container (not in the freezer)? I have two little kids and I seem to have to do cookies in different parts and can’t finish them in one day. So I made cookies yesterday and would like to continue until the end of the week for my son’s party at school. Once again thank you!

I’m a terrible baker, but wanted to spend at least a day in the kitchen with my 3 year old baking holiday treats. This was the best sugar cookie recipe I’ve ever tried–they turned out great and it was awesome there was no chiling needed. My dough seemed kind of “crack-y”–cracks developed when rolling. But the cookies were awesome! I made a few copies of the recipe to stick in the different boxes of cookie cutters in the pantry so it’s right at hand next time! Of the four things we baked today (soggy Magic Bars, a cream cheese Babka that didn’t rise, and mini-candy bars sandwiched in pretzels then dipped in white chocolate that just didn’t stick together), these were the only Pinterest success! Thanks!!!!
