I realize that Valentine's Day has came and went, so this post is a little late, but this recipe can be used to make any type of roll out sugar cookies. St. Patty's Day Shamrocks anyone :)? Anyways, I've gathered quite the collection of cookie cutters within the past few years, So I make sugar cookies for pretty much every holiday, or just when I really need a cookie. This recipe is easy to put together and easy to use.
