How To Bake Sugar Cookies With Only 3 Ingredients
These sugar cookies are unbelievably easy to make. Better yet? Despite this recipe’s name, it calls for only a small amount of sugar. This is on purpose, in case you or the kids want to decorate them or use icing on them. They are delicious on their own, but they are a wonderful homemade Christmas gift if you add festive touches like red and green icing or colored sugar sprinkles.
To gift these cookies, I suggest packaging them in a small festive tin or use a cellophane bag with a pretty bow. You or your children can give these delicious packages to teachers, classmates, co-workers, friends, uncles and grandparents, because nobody can resist these sugar cookies.
Baking with your kids is also a great rainy or snowy day activity. Since these sugar cookies only require three ingredients, you don’t need fancy supplies, either.
