Crispy Cutter Cookies

I will always love those simple cookies as they remind me of childhood. My grandmother used to make them often when I was a little girl. Now I know why – calling for very few staple ingredients, they were easy and quick to make. Yet, they were always satisfying with their crumbly texture, crisp edges and appealing sugar tops.

My grandma used to call them cutters, I guess because of the dough preparation method. There are ways to play around with the basic recipe by adding a little vanilla extract for flavor or changing the sweetness balance by increasing the amount of sugar used. Here, however, I list the basic recipe – just like my grandma used to do.
