These sugar cookies are SIMPLE and so yummy!
The Tween Queen decided she needed these cookies so set about making them. She even took the pictures for my blog!!
These would be a great cookie to wrap in a pretty cellophane bag with a decorative bow as a gift as they are truly soft and chewy.
You can also ice them to decorate or add a little flavored extract (almond is our favorite) for a different touch, or try adding food coloring and make different colored cookies.

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
