Found this recipe on Fancy Flours website (which also has great baking decorations/supplies). I was looking for a basic cut out cookie that was tasty and kept it’s shape. This one was a winner. I like the way they have you roll them out. It’s easier than making a mess with the flour and pastry board and you don’t get the extra flour in the cookies that can make them dry and hard. Also, I rolled most of mine on the thick side (almost 1/2″) because Nicholas likes them thick! They turned out nice–as I remember firm and somewhat crispy on the outside but a little chewy with a somewhat sandy texture on the inside–hard to describe. I also rolled some thinner to experiment and they were just as good. I think this will be my go to cookie for cutting out and decorating.
