YOU ASKED: Do you have a recipe for a good sugar cookie that I can use for cut outs? Also, I need a good royal icing recipe too. I’m going to make cookies in the shape of tools for the boys construction birthday party. The cookie cutters are so cute! I just hope they turn out okay. Thank you!
I ANSWERED: Thanks for thinking of me 
Such a cute idea! We did a ‘construction bday party’ for Rocco’s 1st birthday too OK, well, to be honest, LAST YEAR, I tried TWO different Sugar Cookie Cut-Out Recipes and neither one, I would want to try again or recommend. I do have a GREAT book titled, “The Ultimate Cookie Book” and have yet to try THIS recipe… (Photo from Bryn Mooth)
