Delicious cut-out sugar cookies for Christmas: Try the simple recipe

As December kicks off, there's a particular joy in the air as many commence the holiday baking frenzy. 

Whether you’re new to baking or a long-time cookie-making pro, this recipe from Susan Sarich, founder and CEO of SusieCakes.com, an American bakery known for their made-from-scratch desserts, will delight.

"This is a classic holiday recipe that everyone loves eating as well as preparing! You don’t need to be a seasoned baker to make it — any skill level can work — and it’s simple enough to have kids participate, letting them be in charge of the measuring cups, pouring ingredients and licking the spoons," said Sarich. "Of course, the more fun-colored royal icing and decorations (sprinkles, sanding sugar, candies, etc.), the better."
