The sugar cookie is made up of my go-to sugar cookie base.
Sweet Land O’Lakes butter, brown sugar, and a good amount of vanilla extract;
simple but delicious. Using high quality butter is key, as the flavor really
shines through in both the cookies and the frosting. Land O’Lakes salted butter
is always my go-to. I keep my refrigerator stocked at all times during the
holidays.
