Sugar Cookies with Royal Icing for the natural baker!

Delicious sugar cookies:!

I'm not sure what's worse, sugar cookies that taste like cardboard or sugar cookies that taste like preservatives. This recipe tastes delicious and I think it has something to do with the butter and cream cheese. The dough is extremely easy to work with. My daughter made adorable candy corn cookies. Make sure to use organic ingredients so that your cookies taste amazing! Check out her recipes:
