The Best Sugar Cookies You'll Ever Have

It’s almost Valentines Day! I myself have always loved V-Day, because it's another reason to have chocolate and wine anddd cookies. 

I thought I would change things up a bit and give you my all time favorite sugar cookie recipe since it's Valentine's Day and all! It’s a tradition in my family to make cut out cookies every year for Christmas and this is the recipe I use from my sister-in-law. It’s literally the best i’ve ever had.

Yes, I know what you’re thinking, it’s not the healthiest choice out there but it’s okay to have a treat here and there. It’s called life and it’s called balance. Just don’t go eating the whole batch, which you might want to do after you taste them. I’m here to teach you how to have a balanced lifestyle that’s attainable and maintainable. With that comes knowing that it’s okay to live your life and still be healthy. 

Okay, enough talk, let’s get to it!
