We have eaten way too many sugar cookies over the course of our lifetime, but Barbara’s sugar cookies are among the best we have tasted.
Rolled and cutout cookies
German Strudel Cookies
These flaky cookies are made by layering cold butter between sheets of dough, puff pastry style.
Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies
Cream cheese gives sugar cookies a marvelous flavor. It also makes the dough softer and stickier. The dough needs to be cold when these are rolled out; if it begins to stick, return it to the refrigerator for a while.
This dough is used in Shining Star Cookies.
Cappuccino Cookies with Chocolate Drizzle
Instead of serving Mom coffee in bed, serve it to her in the form of a sophisticated cookie drizzled with chocolate. We don’t know too many Moms who can resist a combination like that.
Lebkuchen Diamonds
Lebkuchen is a German honey cookie that is
traditionally served at Christmas. But
you can cut the dough in heart shapes for Valentine’s Day, or use an oval
cutter for Easter egg-shaped cookies.
