Monster Sugar Cookies

“Roll-and-lower” sugar cookies are made by pulling down dough with a rolling pin, then slicing out shapes. The dough recipe here is supreme: durable enough to withstand rolling and rerolling, but subtle enough to lower neatly. The cookies themselves are extremely versatile. They’re going to even be simply sprinkled with sugar and baked; or, after they’re baked, they’ll even be decorated with royal icing or sandwiched with jam and sprinkled with confectioners’ sugar.Plus: More Dessert Recipes and Baking Pointers
