Update: Yesterday I baked up a batch of Elle’s White Sugar Cookies recipe. The cookies, in comparison to my current favorites are crisper and thinner. They have a well-developed almond flavor and a melt-in-your-mouth sweetness. For a crisp cookie, they’re fantastic (this coming from a soft-cookie girl). The stiff texture and crisp crust make these a breeze to decorate, as they don’t absorb the flooded icing at all. Bake a batch, hit the post office, and brighten someone’s day by sending a care package full of these cookies.
*Decorating inspiration came from My Sweet and Saucy. Check out her amazing cookie and cake designs, as well as wedding inspiration photos. I love her work because it’s something that anyone with the right tools and enough patience can replicate (except for the gorgeous sugar flowers, perhaps.)
Wow, those cookies look amazing! I, too prefer a soft cookie – I learned that if I keep a piece of bread in my cookie ziploc bag, they stay soft.
These are a work of art!
