Preparing a batch of easy Snowflake Sugar Cookies is a fun, yet peaceful activity that can recenter you after a hectic few hour- or days. I particularly enjoy the dough rolling process, as it gives me a chance to work off any tension and anxiety that I’ve been storing since the kickoff of the holiday season. And what results from that is a light and fluffy pastry bite that I can then decorate till my heart’s content!

Plus, if you serve these alongside our Smores Milkshake or Harry Potter Butterbeer the kids will go bonkers- which will give you a few minutes of peace before you must go pry them off the ceiling.

Tips

The only word of caution I’d like to put out there is regarding the chill time. I am a fan of letting my dough rest and if you’re not pressured for time and can swing it, I strongly suggest allowing the dough to chill overnight.

It’s such a little thing but can make a big difference to how well your cookie holds together after baking, plus if you’re thinking about storing these cookies- whether in the fridge or freezer- they’ll fare better if the dough has had more time to settle then immediately plop them into the oven.
