We used our favorite sugar cookie dough recipe for these ultra-buttery and perfectly spiced cookies. Betcha can't eat just one!
Tip: we like making a thicker glaze for these cookies to give them a decorative drizzle. If you'd prefer to dip the tops of your cookies instead of drizzle, add 2 additional tablespoons of milk to your glaze.
