My sister gave me this award winning sugar cookie recipe - they're thick, soft, and turn out perfectly, and the frosting is great! This recipe is doubled so it makes a ton...
2 c. sugar
4 sticks butter (2 c.) - softened (DO NOT MELT)
4 eggs (room temp)
1/2 c. milk
2 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. baking soda
4 tsp. cream of tartar
7 c. flour (plus more for rolling out)
Cream sugar and butter til fluffy. Slowly add eggs, milk and vanilla. Once incorporated, mix in baking soda, cream of tartar and flour. Chill for at least an hour. Flour the space you will roll out the dough - roll about 1/2" thick (the thicker the dough, the fluffier the cookie). Use desired shapes and place on greased cookie sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes at 325 degrees. Let cool on rack and then frost:
p.s. since I can't find my camera, I stole this picture from google. I promise mine look the same!
