Slightly sweet, pleasingly thick, and sturdy enough to hold up to decorating, these frosted sugar cookies are sure to become your new go-to. The dough is easy to make, roll, and cut, and the cookies keep their shape beautifully in the oven. The cookies’ tender texture is due to reverse creaming, a method we rely on for making great cakes, and the frosting’s subtle but irresistible tang is thanks to a smidge of cream cheese.
