Here’s a recipe you may want to try. They make a great cookie cutter sugar cookie that holds its shape and stays soft when rolled to at least 1/4-inch thick. http://www.best-ever-cookie-collection.com/cookie-cutter-sugar-cookies.html

I swear by the “Ethel’s Sugar Cookies” recipe from the old standby Betty Crocker cookbook. The BC cookbook used to have two sugar cookie recipes and Ethel’s was by far the best. Updated BC’s just print the Ethel’s version and have renamed it “Sugar Cookies.” The genius is in the Cream of Tartar and the use of both vanilla and almond extract (I use less almond and sometimes omit and add lemon zest). Cookies have the right amount of crispness at the edge and are light, but sturdy enough (in flavor and texture) to handle any frosting.

I haven’t found a better cookie for decorating yet.

B. -
Love the frosting design on these cookies. Also, there are so many “new” recipes in the comments suggestion I’d love to see a competition..er..I mean comparison

As for me, I am partial to Grandma Murphy’s recipe.

I helped develop a sugar cookie recipe for magnolia bakery that’s pretty fantastic. It’s similar to the one you tried above except it uses 2 1/4 C flour and 2 yolks instead of 1 egg (the white makes a drier cookie). As well just 1 t powder, though I imagine that more would make a softer poofier cookie.

I use the Wilton sugar cookie recipe and it is delicious! It is pretty easy to work with, but I am having problems with the last cookies in the batch. It seems the more you roll it out the more the cookies puff up and lose their shape.

these are so cute! I’m going to try out the buttercream recipe you used- I have been trying a number of different ones in search for the “perfect” buttercream the same way you are looking for the perfect sugar cookie. The cookies sure do look pretty even if they weren’t the tastiest.
