Sugar cookies are a rolled cookie in which the dough is made ahead of time and refrigerated. The dough also freezes well. I always make mine ahead of time. Even if you don't have time to make the dough yourself, there are some good store bought versions out there. Kids don't notice any difference. I think the fun is in the decorating not the eating. Although, I must say this recipe for sugar cookies is pretty good. In fact one of Loretta's teachers says that my sugar cookies are "sturdy, yet tasty." Sturdy means perfect for decorating and tasty means good to eat too.
