Sugar cookies from What's for Dessert: Simple Recipes for Dessert People (page 217) by Claire Saffitz

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    This is a great, basic slice-and-bake sugar cookie. Made them a few times and they’re always get compliments. They’re not a fancy cookie but a foolproof homemade version of the classic - plus I love that I can roll them in colored sugar for the holidays.
