Rolled Sugar Cookie Recipe
Rolled sugar cookies are a classic sugar cookie recipe that’s easy to make because they are rolled in sugar before baking. You don’t chill the dough or use cookie cutters for this drop sugar cookie recipe. Roll the cookies in colored sanding sugar for different holidays!

Notes
For the cookies in the photos, the dough balls were about 3 heaping tablespoons, so that’s a large cookie! I baked those for 12-14 minutes.
If you make smaller dough balls, you should reduce the baking time otherwise the cookies will be over done.
