Easy Sugar Cookies

I made some sugar cookies and didn't feel like doing a 'rolled out' version using cookie cutters. So, I went to one of my favorite recipe sites, allrecipes.com, in search of an easy sugar cookie recipe with no rolling required.

I love allrecipes.com because it has user rating and comments, so you can gauge how good the recipe is based on the opinions of people who have tried it.

I found this sugar cookie recipe. No rolling required. 2,738 reader reviews. 4 1/2 stars out of 5. Perfect.

The only change I made is after I made the dough into 48 small balls, I rolled them in white sugar before baking.

They turned out great. The kids (and I) taste tested them and loved them. :)
