Chewy Sugar Cookies

Categories Dessert, Easy Recipes

Never underestimate the power of a good cookie. World peace could hinge on a good cookie given in love. Ha ha. At least in a perfect world it would. These chewy sugar cookies are simple to make and taste delicious. They always disappear within minutes when I make them for my family.

They are simple but so delicious. You could add frosting to these if you want but they are plenty sweet on their own and they really don’t need anything else. I sometimes sprinkle a little extra sugar on top after they bake but it isn’t necessary.

I have a few different sugar cookies on my website, each are delicious and different, because sugar cookies aren’t all the same, they do each have their place though.
