Sugar cookies are a holiday staple, especially when you cut them into festive shapes and then glaze them.

This is the best glazed sugar cookies recipe because the shapes won't spread when you are baking them.Baking is a fun family activity, too. Kids love to be a part of the process, whether by measuring ingredients, mixing them or decorating the sugar cookies. Plus, who doesn’t like the smell of cookies in the oven?

The biggest challenge can be avoiding the cookie batter from spreading. More than once I thought I had the most perfect cookies only to have a spread out, amorphous blob once I took them out of the oven. They were yummy, but not pretty.

If you’ve also had this issue, you will LOVE this no spread sugar cookies recipe. It is honestly the best one I’ve tried when making holiday cookies. I also included an easy yet beautiful glaze recipe so you can decorate them.
