A very good sugar cookie with a hint of almond flavor.

We were given a lot of strawberries and I had to figure out what to do with them so they didn't go bad. So I came up with this recipe. I hope everyone likes it as much as my kids did. I prefer fresh strawberries over strawberry extract because it gives it a more fruitful flavor. But the extract is good as well. You decide.

A light, crispy but tender sugar cookie loaded with flavor. These cookies are especially requested at Christmas. They're easy and definitely a crowd-pleaser.

Big, soft, Amish sugar cookies, called sugar 'cakes'.

This is New Mexico's traditional cookie. A great thick sugar cookie that is dusted with cinnamon-sugar. The traditional shape is fleur-de-lis, but use your favorite cookie cutters if you like.

Drop cookie style sugar cookies, perfect for impatient bakers!

Soft sugar cookies =)

This recipe was handed down from my great grandmother. It took a few years to figure out the exact measures. These cookies are very soft and if you want to use a cutter, the dough should be refrigerated a couple hours. I use a three inch biscuit cutter. You can also drop these if you are short on time. Sprinkle tops with colored sugar or whatever decorative confection you like. These are good plain also.

My family's favorite Christmas cookie. Buttery and crispy. The slight coconut flavor makes this cookie the best.

Sugar cookies that melt in your mouth.

These are cookies my mother has been making since I was a little girl. They are melt-in-your-mouth delicious!

These are amazing lavender ribbon cookies that everyone loves. Oh, are you pregnant, or do you not feel well? Well, these cookies have been mentioned by friends and family to make them feel better.

These taste just like Loft House sugar cookies and are just as soft.

Just like Mrs. Field's sugar cookies.

This is my backwoods Mississippi grandmother's own customized sugar cookie dough recipe. Royal icing is recommended, but these are also wonderful without icing. Very light and buttery. My mom stuck with it, and we grew up eating the raw cookie dough before snacking on the cookies at holidays. This will always be my basic cookie dough recipe. It's very quick and easy to make a batch of this dough and to customize. These are common ingredients easily found in most sparsely-stocked kitchens. You don't have to be a master chef to get a batch of these cookies to turn out well.

I'm usually not a big fan of snickerdoodles, but I had a feeling the pumpkin spice would work perfectly with the buttery, cinnamon sugar cookie, and it did.

Quick and easy sugar cookies. They are really good plain or with candies in them. My friend uses chocolate mints on top, and they're great!
