1 1/2 cup white sugar

4. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until well combined.
5. Shape dough into a ball and wrap with plastic wrap.
6. Refrigerate dough 2-3 hours or overnight.
7. Roll dough out on a lightly floured counter to about 1/4 inch thick.
8. Cut out shapes with cookie cutter and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Reroll dough ends until you have used all the dough.
9. Bake at 400F for 8 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
10. Cool cookies on a wire cooling rack, decorate and enjoy.

Notes:
These are a fun cookie to make with the kids and can be decorated with any kind of icing. I prefer to leave my cookie dough overnight in the fridge and only roll out about half at a time while keeping the rest in the fridge. These are also very good without any icing at all.
