Great Recipe: Chewy Sugar Cookies

I discovered this recipe last year on foodnetwork.com. It is a funtastically foolproof recipe for sugar cookies that are as pleasing to the eye as to the taste. You don't even need a rolling pin and cookie cutters to make them, an added bonus for the countertop-challenged among us. That said, I have used a rolling pin on this cookie dough to cut out small circles with center circles for mini linzer tarts (maybe not the most authentic thing in the world, but it's very good).

I didn't plan ahead for Christmas this year and wound up at the supermarket on Christmas Eve. The only sprinkles left were blue, pink and yellow and nonpareils. Ideally, it would have been nice to include red sprinkles and silver ball sprinkles but in the end, it's all about the cookie!
