No Chill Sugar Cookies
This recipe is effortless and easy because you don’t have to chill the dough before baking and the cookies still hold their shape. Just simply make the roll out on a floured surface or between two pieces of parchment paper. The key is to just slightly soften your butter so dough remains slightly firm to roll out.

Notes & Tips:
- For rolling dough between parchment: Place two equal-sized sheets of parchment paper underneath and above the dough, making a kind of dough sandwich. Then roll out with your rolling pin, keeping the dough sandwiched between the two parchment sheets. Once it has been rolled to the desired thickness, cut out cookies using your Ann Clark cookie cutters.
