Tis the season of sweets, left over candies, and cookies!
Some of my favorite cookies to make are sugar cookies. They are versatile, easy to gift to others and the dough can be refrigerated for up to a week; making sugar cookies a great cookie to have on hand.
Sugar cookies can easily be infused with more flavor by adding spices, and citrus zests. The cookies below were rolled in cinnamon sugar adding warmth to these buttery favorites.
