frosted sugar cookies – Girl Versus Dough

Yield – 21 cookies
Presentation – I colored my frosting with liquid food coloring but gel food coloring would make more vibrant colors. You can also leave them white for a classic or bridal look!
Flavor Tips – Cake flour will make for the best soft sugar cookies. I would not recommend substituting for any other type of flour, but if you must, all-purpose will be fine.
Variations – Try a different flavored frosting; add sprinkles, nuts or fruit to the dough; or flavor the dough with extracts or lemon zest.  
Storage – Store unfrosted cookies at room temperature for up to 3 days but they are best served or frosted the day they are made. Store frosted cookies at room temperature for up to 5 days (best texture within 3) or frozen for up to 2 months.
