Bloomin' Sugar Cookies

5.0(6)

These are from the May 2001 issue of Creative Home magazine. They make a very rich sugar cookie that melts in your mouth. I use the large Wilton cookie cutters with the rubber grippers. My kids and I make flowers and butterflies in the spring, and leaves and sunflowers in the fall.
