On a floured surface, roll dough to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut with a 2-1/2-in. cookie cutter; place on greased baking sheets. Bake at 375 degrees F for 7-8 minutes or until light golden brown. Decorate if desired.
I used Betty Crocker white cookie frosting I found in the baking isle at Kroger's, it tastes really good, not overly sweet, but sweet enough to just add to the sugar cookie.
On a side note, here's a picture of what you DON'T want to do with sugar cookies. For some reason I was thinking you could put preserves in sugar cookies...well, it didn't work and it wasn't until they were in the oven that I realized that it is Shortbread cookies you do that with, NOT sugar cookies...Sheesh!
