Today is National Sugar Cookie Day. As we all know, a sugar cookie is a cookie usually made with baking soda, sugar, eggs, flour, vinegar, salt, milk and vanilla. In the mid-1700s, German Protestant settlers in the Nazareth area of Pennsylvania perfected the recipe of the sugar cookie; thus, the sugar cookie is sometimes referred to as the Nazareth Sugar Cookie. On September 5, 2001, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania adopted the sugar cookie as its official cookie.
Sugar cookies, like most other cookies, are baked until crisp, although some people prefer them to be soft and chewy. Soft and chewy has its advantage that more vanilla flavor. Sugar cookies can be rolled out and cut into shapes with cookie cutters, as well as decorated with sugar sprinkles or icing.
The perfect beverage accompaniment with your sugar cookies is a nice cup of hot tea! Enjoy!
Happy National Sugar Cookie Day!
