Nana’s Sugar Cookie Recipe: This Cut-out Sugar Cookies Recipe Tastes Like the Holidays by Ann Marie Patitucci

For me, there are certain foods and desserts that just taste like the holidays. A great example of this is my mother-in-law Pam’s sugar cookie cut-outs recipe. I’m not sure I even liked sugar cookies all that much until I tried hers, but these I LOVE. They’re easily one of my top three favorite cookie recipes. And the recipe is so easy! I’m sharing it here with you so that you can experience this taste of the holidays, too.
