Or more specifically, soft cut-out sugar cookies. There&#8217;s something so fun about decorating sugar cookies around this time of year, so I thought it would be the perfect time to share this recipe with you.<\/p>\n<p>The wonderful thing about this sugar cookie recipe is that you don&#8217;t have to chill the cookie dough. There&#8217;s nothing more frustrating than making sugar cookie dough and having to wait 1 to 2 hours before you can even cut them out to bake.<\/p>\n<p>With this recipe, all you have to do is mix up the sugar cookie dough, roll it out, cut out your cookies, and bake them. It doesn&#8217;t get much easier than that, does it?<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13636 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Cut-out-Sugar-Cookies-with-Cream-Cheese-Frosting.jpg?resize=1360%2C2040&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A package of Crisco shortening sticks. \" width=\"1360\" height=\"2040\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Cut-out-Sugar-Cookies-with-Cream-Cheese-Frosting.jpg?w=1360&amp;ssl=1 1360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Cut-out-Sugar-Cookies-with-Cream-Cheese-Frosting.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Cut-out-Sugar-Cookies-with-Cream-Cheese-Frosting.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Cut-out-Sugar-Cookies-with-Cream-Cheese-Frosting.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Recipe Ingredients&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<p>These soft sugar cookies with icing come together with ingredients you likely have on hand already! Here are the ingredients you will need for these cookies:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>All-Purpose Flour:&nbsp;<\/strong>Spoon and level the flour when measuring it so you don&#8217;t end up with dense cookies.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Baking powder:&nbsp;<\/strong>Gives the sugar cookies some lift.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt:&nbsp;<\/strong>Balances out the sweetness of the dough and enhances the vanilla flavor.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shortening:&nbsp;<\/strong>Keep reading to see my thoughts on why you should make sugar cookies with shortening.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Granulated sugar:&nbsp;<\/strong>Sweetens the dough without flavoring it.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Egg:&nbsp;<\/strong>Should be at room temperature before being mixed into the cookie dough.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Milk:&nbsp;<\/strong>Any kind will work.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla extract:&nbsp;<\/strong>This is the main flavoring agent in this cookie dough, so you&#8217;ll want to use two teaspoons. &nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cream cheese:&nbsp;<\/strong>You will be using this for the frosting.&nbsp;Use brick-style cream cheese, not the kind that comes in a tub.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Powdered sugar: <\/strong>To sweeten and thicken the frosting. Feel free to sift the powdered sugar first to avoid lumps.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Why Use Shortening?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<p>One important ingredient that you need for these cookies is shortening. I typically use Crisco, you can find it&nbsp;in the traditional blue tub or 1-cup baking sticks like the picture above.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering why shortening&nbsp;is so important in these cookies, let me explain. Butter melts at a lower temperature than shortening, which means cookies made with butter spread a lot faster when they&#8217;re in the oven.<\/p>\n<p>Remember how I mentioned that this cookie dough doesn&#8217;t require any dough chilling? It&#8217;s because the shortening in these cookies helps them retain their shape in the oven, so they don&#8217;t spread like cookies made with butter.<\/p>\n<p>Another great thing about using shortening versus butter in these cookies is that it doesn&#8217;t require refrigeration. In other words, you can start mixing up your cookie dough immediately, unlike other recipes where you have to wait for your butter to soften.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13649 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Cut-out-Sugar-Cookies-with-Cream-Cheese-Frosting-9.jpg?resize=1360%2C2040&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Overhead view of soft frosted sugar cookies topped with rainbow sprinkles. \" width=\"1360\" height=\"2040\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Cut-out-Sugar-Cookies-with-Cream-Cheese-Frosting-9.jpg?w=1360&amp;ssl=1 1360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Cut-out-Sugar-Cookies-with-Cream-Cheese-Frosting-9.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Cut-out-Sugar-Cookies-with-Cream-Cheese-Frosting-9.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Cut-out-Sugar-Cookies-with-Cream-Cheese-Frosting-9.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>How to Make Frosted Sugar Cookies&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<p>To make this cookie dough, you&#8217;ll mix together some flour, baking powder, and salt. For the wet ingredients, you&#8217;ll start by mixing together the shortening and&nbsp;sugar, then add the egg, a couple tablespoons of milk, and vanilla extract. You&#8217;ll combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients and mix them together until just combined.<\/p>\n<p>Then, divide the cookie dough in half and roll it out onto a lightly floured surface. You can roll the dough out to about 1\/4-inch thick or a little bit thicker to 3\/8-inch thick. I rolled these cookies to 3\/8-inch thick because I wanted them to be a little thicker and softer. Then, cut out shapes, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Once the cookies are done baking, let them cool completely before topping them with homemade cream cheese frosting!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13632 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Cut-out-Sugar-Cookies-with-Cream-Cheese-Frosting-4.jpg?resize=1360%2C2040&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A stack of three soft cut out sugar cookies topped with frosting.
