CLASSIC SUGAR COOKIES
As you might expect from Betty Crocker, these are the classic version of a sugar cookie-the kind your grandma or even great-grandma would recognize. These cookies are the originals that provided a sweet, universally lovable starting point for generations of bakers to riff on, and we stand by them just as they are. With a tender, short texture that comes from a good buttery base, they break with just the right balance of bend and snap. And the taste? When we recently baked up a few batches for pre-Christmas testing, person after person in the Test Kitchens said, "Now THAT is a sugar cookie." While flavor and texture are arguably the key criteria on which cookies should be judged, when it comes to sugar cookies, there's another important factor: how easy they are to decorate. It's crucial that sugar cookie dough can be easily turned into cookies that are equal parts decorative and delicious. During our most recent testing of this recipe, we also noticed that there were no instructions for a glaze in this recipe. Not wanting to leave you-or your cookies-high and dry, we tested a few glazes. The one we landed on is simple and made with common pantry staples, but the magic is in the ratio of ingredients-we ensured that it results in a glaze that's easily tintable, covers smoothly and dries firmly so that you can stack the finished cookies without fear of smudging them. However you chose to decorate them, dress these classic sugar cookies up in holiday style and they'll be the star of every Christmas gathering.

Steps:
- In large bowl, beat 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, the softened butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla, the almond extract and egg with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon, until well blended. Stir in flour, baking soda and cream of tartar. Divide dough in half; shape dough into 2 disks, and wrap in plastic wrap. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
- Heat oven to 375°F.
- Roll each disk on lightly floured surface until 1/4 inch thick. Cut with 2- to 2 1/2-inch cookie cutters into desired shapes. On ungreased cookie sheets, place cutouts at least 2 inches apart.
- Bake 7 to 8 minutes or until edges are light brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely.
- In medium bowl, beat 3 cups powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons milk and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla with spoon until smooth and spreadable. If frosting is too stiff to spread, add additional milk, 1 teaspoon at a time. Tint with food color. Spread frosting on cooled cookies. Decorate as desired with colored sugar or candy sprinkles. Let stand about 4 hours or until frosting is set. Store covered in airtight container at room temperature with waxed paper between layers.

GREAT VALUE SUGAR COOKIE
This is the sugar cookie recipe found on Wal-Mart's brand, Great Value, sugar bag. Hands down - this is the BEST sugar cookie recipe I've ever tried! Rather than rolling out these cookies and using cookie cutters, I form the dough into a log, cover with cling wrap and freeze. To bake, just slice 1/4" thick! *Preparation time does not include chilling time *Number of servings depends upon size of cookie shapes

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375°F. In medium bowl, stir cookie mix, butter and egg until soft dough forms. Stir in 3 tablespoons of the sprinkles.
- Shape dough into 20 (1 1/2-inch) balls. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten slightly.
- Bake 9 to 12 minutes or until light golden brown on edges and set. Cool 5 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- In small microwavable bowl, place 1/2 cup of the frosting. Stir in pink food color until blended. Microwave uncovered on High 10 to 15 seconds or until warmed and thinner consistency. Take half of the cookies, and working with one cookie at a time, dip halfway into warmed frosting; gently shake off excess. Place on cooling rack placed over cookie sheet or waxed paper. If frosting has cooled too much, reheat as needed. Sprinkle 1 1/2 teaspoons of the remaining sprinkles on dipped half of each cookie. In another small microwavable bowl, place remaining 1/2 cup frosting; stir in blue food color until blended. Repeat microwaving and dipping with remaining cookies. Sprinkle remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons sprinkles on dipped half of each cookie. Let stand about 3 hours or until set.

- In a large bowl beat the butter until smooth and creamy for about one minute. Add the sugar and continue to beat until creamy for about 2 minutes. Add the egg, vanilla, and almond extract and continue to beat until incorporated.
- In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add to the creamed mixture and continue to beat until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball and chill in the fridge for one hour and can be chilled overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Roll dough out to desired thickness (mine were 1/4 inch thick) and cut with cookie cutters. Transfer to baking sheet.
- Bake for 8-11 minutes or until just set. I like mine more soft so I cooked mine for 8 minutes. Let cookies cool completely before frosting.
