Easter Sugar Cookies
The Easter Day sugar cookies are soft and buttery with a hint of vanilla. They are basically beautiful in pastel shades with royal icing on them, which helps to create that crisp design.
They look absolutely gorgeous on the plate and are quick to disappear. The cream cheese gives the rich taste of melt-in-your-mouth Easter Day sugar cookies.
They have such a nice flavor, you can skip the frosting and sprinkle them with colored sugar.
