Christmas Baking – No Chill Sugar Cookies

I had to call my mom for this recipe this morning, because there’s no way my kids were going to wait the hour or so between mixing the dough and rolling out the cookies without driving me absolutely insane. We whipped these up this morning, and they were in the oven before the 4-year-old could even begin to whine that she hadn’t gotten to use the star shaped cutter. They’re already out of the oven and frosted (we dip them in royal icing and add sprinkles for easy peasy cookies.)
