White Velvet Sugar Cookies

O my, O my, O my. These are D-licious! (Even the ones that my adorable nephew doused with sprinkles and licked his fingers repeatedly while frosting!) Perfectly moist, not too sugary, heaven in a cookie! Unfortunately, I liked them too much...it is a holiday, right?!! (Excuses, Excuses!) I can't wait to continue making these-forever! TRY THEM!!!
