So yesterday I made homemade sugar cookies for the first time. They turned out pretty good. As always I am looking to make the best, I want to take a bite and go Oh My Gosh this is delicious! The thing is I am still trying to figure out my gas oven, I think it burns a little hotter because the cookies were a nice pale color on top but dark brown on the bottom. Next time I will bake on a lower temperature.
As for the frosting, I made my own as well. The perfect sugar cookie frosting. Like the frosting you find on the lofthouse sugar cookies, Yum!
