These little jelly-centered sugar cookies are absolutely darling. I could eat these yummy little gems of sweetness every day of my life…but I won’t because I don’t want to grow out of my pants haha! I love to use cookie cutters on these cookies as you can see in my picture. However, you do not have to do that and can simply make the cookies circular as the recipe suggests. No matter what shape these cookies are cut they will still taste great!
These cookies are generally made during the holiday season but I like to gather up my kiddos and make them throughout the entire year as they are so good.
