"Best sugar cookie. I did have the crumbly dough for the first batch so I added 1 egg white which was all that was needed. I did not refrigerate the first batch at all, just rolled it out and it was fine. The second batch followed directions for the frig. while oven warmed then rolled out the dough and again it was the same as the first batch. Excellent with or without the royal icing. I will never use another recipe for sugar cookies.

"This recipe is easy and the best Christmas cookie. I omitted the Chambord/kirsch just because I did not have it on hand but they still were very delicious and were eaten within a few days and needed to make a second batch. I did try strawberry jam and marmalade in some of the for a test and they all came out tasting excellent.
