When I was a little girl, every Christmas afternoon, my Grandpa Marshall would take me over to his Mom and Dad’s home after we opened presents. My Nana, Laura Moore, would always have a cherry pie ready for him, it was my Grandpa’s favorite, and sugar cookies for all of her grandchildren (there were a lot of us, but I was the eldest.) I would sit at her kitchen table and eat a sugar cookie and wrap the rest to bring home. I wanted to save them, they were so delicious! Nana’s sugar cookies taste like Christmas to me. I hope that you enjoy Nana’s Sugar Cookies and make them a part of your holiday tradition as well!
Nan’s Sugar Cookies are fun and easy to make. Grab your kids to help you in the kitchen, they will love pressing the sprinkles on the cookies!
Wet a paper towel, wipe the bottom of a glass, dip in colored sugar, then press on cookie dough ball and flatten. Fun to do with kids!
Bake until edges are golden brown
This recipe makes 6 dozen Sugar Cookies! Perfect for Christmas gifts!
They are so festive and pretty and will bring a smile to anyone who eats them!
Use red and green sprinkles for Christmas!

In the kitchen aid what do you use the paddle or risk? In the video it shows neither one ??
I used the wire whip.

Hi Nettie! This recipe looks amazing! Is it possible to pre-make the dough and save pressing and baking for later?
Hi Lindsey,
Thank you!
You can prepare the dough and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days. If you’d rather freeze the dough, it can be stored in the freezer for up to 6 months.
Merry Christmas!

I am all about perfect circles. So I makes balls then roll them in sprinkles.
