This is my mom’s pink sugar cookie recipe and it is not complete without PINK frosting. The pink frosting is a must and makes them officially “MOM’S!” I love the edges on these, too! That is created by using a glass to press down on balls of cookie dough. Such a cool and rugged cookie look giving them an edge and some chic style!
