My daughters and I have been busy making sugar cookies for all of our Valentines! We do have a lot of them, as my oldest has been asking everyone to be her Valentine! The more the merrier right?
It has become a fun tradition at our home to make sugar cookies for every holiday! Whenever I tell my girls it is cookie time they get so excited. I have looked for a long time for a good sugar cookie recipe, and wouldn't you know my mom had the perfect one!
Here is the recipe for you too!
