Easy Buttery Sugar Cookies

Sometimes when you plan to sit down and write something, you run out of ideas and words. Creating a compelling post and developing a story that hold people's interest is a process which cannot be achieved 'on-demand'. There are times when the entire post come to your mind right away and there are times when you are struggling. This is one such time so I will jump quickly to the recipe of very easy buttery sugar cookies. This is one of my all time favorite recipes. You can put it in cookie cutter or roll it and make different shapes. This also forms a very good base for all cookie decorations using royal icing.

You can use them to make sandwich biscuits using nutella, jam or peanut butter as spread. For more twists you can brush with egg yolks and sprinkle chopped nuts or desscicated coconut on it. Possibilities are endless.
