Here's the thing and this is a wild coincidence. I have actually made BOTH of the recipes linked for you today. They're good, don't get me wrong. But this one is the game changer. The cream cheese in the cookie makes them absolutely mind-blowing. I never make the frosting, but the cookie base is amazing. https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/cream-cheese-sugar-cookies/#tasty-recipes-70077 More on reddit.com

Martha’s Sugar Cookies

A favourite of everyone who visits Bill and Martha Dahlor’s home, these light and crispy sugar cookies are easy to make (no rolling required!). They literally “melt in your mouth” (A note from Shelly: Thank you, Martha for all the batches you sent home with me, and for sharing this family recipe with us!)

• 1 cup butter or margarine

• 1 cup powdered sugar

• 2 eggs

• 4 cups, plus 1 tbsp flour

• 1 tsp cream of tartar

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 1 cup cooking oil

• 1 tsp vanilla

• 1 tsp salt

Cream together butter, granulated and powdered sugars, and oil until light. Add eggs, one at a time, and vanilla.

In another bowl, sift together flour, salt, cream of tartar and soda. Add to creamed mixture a little at a time mixing well between additions.

Turn mixer to high speed and beat until light and fluffy.

Using two teaspoons, spoon out quarter-sized dabs of dough and drop onto an ungreased cookie sheet (use one spoon to scoop dough and the other to push dough off the other spoon - this keeps you from getting your fingers in the dough.)

Press each lightly with the bottom of a glass that has been dipped in sugar.

Bake in a 375 degree oven for 6-8 minutes or until the sides turn golden brown.

Serve with cold milk and enjoy!

I have the bomb: 2 sticks soft butter 1 c sugar 1 egg 1 tsp vanilla 2 tsp baking powder 4 c flour 3 Tb milk or more till nice consistency Beat butter and sugar till creamy. Add egg and vanilla. Add dry ingredients alternately with milk. Will look a lil dry in the beginning. Don't over beat though. Roll out (half the dough at a time) on lightly powdered sugar surface. (Better than a floured surface) Cut out shapes. Bake at 350 for about 8 min. Better to under bake than over. They'll be nice and soft after cooling. Re roll scraps to cut but not more than once. Chilling the dough before cutting out is best. More on reddit.com
