Funfetti Sugar Cookies






I know, you're thinking, "Wait, Baker Mandy is still alive?!" 
Yes, indeed I am! And don't worry, I certainly haven't stopped baking in the past two years.
After a little hiatus... okay, a long hiatus, I have decided to make a come back! I have been feeling particularly inspired to make more recipes and just up my baking and business recently.
So with that, let's talk about these sugar cookies. As you've probably figured out from my past recipes, I tend to be a chocoholic and always add chocolate to any recipe I can. So today for my comeback recipe, I decided to try something a little different. Sugar cookies. I know, doesn't sound too exciting but let me tell you, these sugar cookies are approximately 10x better than the ordinary sugar cookie. I took this batch to my best friend and within the hour after opening the bag, she had downed three of them. 
So if you're like me and tend to add chocolate to everything, put down the chocolate for a second, grab the sprinkles, and try these sugar cookies out.
