"Cut-out holiday sugar cookies with crisp edges and soft centers. My icing recipe is so simple, making decorating hassle-free! YIELD: The number of cookies this recipe yields depends on how thick you roll the dough and the size of the cookie cutter you use. If hoping to make dozens of cookies for a large crowd, double the cookie and icing recipes. I got 2 dozen small/medium cookies...."
