If you’ve read this blog for any amount of time, or if you know me in real life, you know that I have very little patience. It’s just not a virtue I possess. That means, though, I like things to be simple. As much as I enjoy making and decorating sugar cookies, I needed to find something that worked for me. That’s where the easiest triangle sugar cookies come in! No chilling of the dough required, mix, bake, cut and frost. EASY PEASY!
