Elf-Approved Sugar Cookies

Have you ever seen the movie Elf? If not, let me introduce you to Buddy the Elf, who absolutely adores sugar. In fact, he considers it one of the five main food groups. These sugar cookies are made for Buddy—ultra-thick, impossibly soft, and with the perfect crinkly edges. We top them with a silky vanilla buttercream, festive Christmas sprinkles, and a decadent white chocolate ganache drizzle. And because we believe in going all out, we finish them with chunks of Little Debbie Christmas Trees for that extra touch of holiday magic.

Yes, you read that right: Sugar + Sugar + Sugar + Even More Sugar = a cookie Buddy the Elf would definitely approve of.
