Sugar Cookies are such fun and happy cookies to make. They can be simple or elaborate depending on the occasion and your mood. I actually made these together with a bunch of other cookies some weeks back for Vacation Bible School. Since the teenage helpers worked so hard, I decided to do my part by putting in a little more effort to decorate the cookies.

Christmas Cookie Cutters

This post contains affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy here.

I used my Christmas gingerbread cookie cutters to make the boys, girls, and hands that did the work. The hearts represent love and the flowers just because. I have a set of unused train cookie cutters which I brought out to cut two engines, carriages, and cabboses for the littler kids. That made up my tray of thirty nine Sugar Cookies with a couple more that never even made it to the wire rack. 😉

The other cookies I made for the week long event were my personal favorite Coconut Pecan Cookies (on the far left) and Pecan Creme de Menthe Cookies (on the far right). Others included the very popular Soft Chewy M&M Cookies and Cinnamon Chip Cookies which I did not take a picture of. I have some friends asking for the recipe and so I may just take the excuse to make another batch soon. The Checkerboard Cookies (in the center) should be posted in the days ahead.

The fragrance and combination of flavors in these Coconut Pecan Cookies are sure to please. Perfect for tea time or the holidays. | RotiNRice.com

Egg Free Sugar Cookies

I did not use eggs in these cookies but they were not difficult to handle at all. I chilled the dough in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before rolling and cutting them into shapes. Chilling the dough helps make it firmer and easier to handle especially on warm days.

Shimmer Sugar

Please decorate the cookies however you desire. I simply used my stock of shimmer/sparkly sugar.

Amethyst Shimmer, Pepper Creek Farms Sugar, 7.56 Ounce
