There is something about the smell of homemade cookies baking in the oven that fills your home with warmth and comfort. When that sweet, buttery aroma fills your home, suddenly everyone is in the mood for dessert! Cookies are the perfect treat for any occasion because they are so versatile and convenient. What other dessert can be eaten on the go with one hand and no utensils?
There are endless possibilities to baking delicious cookies, but a classic sugar cookie is comfort food at its best. All you need is flour, butter, sugar and a few other simple ingredients to create a dessert that everyone loves. These drop cookies make baking homemade treats one step easier by skipping the rolling and cutting that most sugar cookie recipes call for. Sprinkle the dough with colored sugar or bake plain and serve with buttercream frosting. Either way you have a dessert that is delicious and makes your home smell warm and inviting.
