It's TEE TIME! Let's face it...if you are playing golf, your favorite place to be is on the green! Tee Time Golf Cookies are perfect for Father's Day and golf tournaments - and I've got an entire nine holes set-up for you - whether it's the front nine or the back nine, makes no difference - these are just so FUN! This is my go-to recipe for soft, thick and perfect sugar cookies, decorated with the easiest Royal Icing with lots of sheen and a soft bite. The dough is easy to roll out and work with, holds its shape and edges, and has a wonderful surface for fun decorating. Perfectly simple, delightfully delicious and so much fun! The secret to getting a realistic rough grass effect that tastes wonderful is graham cracker crumbs – the brown undertones of the graham crackers and green food coloring really give these golf cookie greens an earthy quality! HOW TO MAKE PERFECT SUGAR COOKIES:To ensure the wonderfully soft sugar cookies of your dreams, you want to roll the dough about ¼-inch thick. This may seem too thick when you are rolling and cutting, but it’s absolutely key if you want perfect sugar cookies for munching and decorating! If you’ve found your cut-out sugar cookies lose their shape in the past, it could have been due to a few factors (too much butter in the recipe, dough too warm, dough not rolled thick enough, etc.), but I can tell you that this recipe yields absolutely beautiful edges that do not spread if you take care to roll to the appropriate thickness (if rolled too thin then they can spread) and chill the cut-out dough before baking.

HOW I MAKE THESE:
YIELD: Makes about 36 (three-inch) cookies NOTES: These cookies will stay fresh in an air-ight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. MAKE AHEAD TIP: Plain baked cookies freeze well up to 1 month. Thaw overnight UNOPENED on your kitchen countertop before decorating. FOR PARTIES: I package cookies individually in self-sealing clear cellophane cello bags (Pack It Chic are my favorite brand). Make sure cookies are completely dry after decorating before packaging. To make ahead, place individually wrapped and sealed cookies in a larger airtight container and freeze. Thaw on your countertop before serving - do not thaw in refrigerator (you are trying to minimize moisture during defrosting, which can cause your frosting designs to run or bleed). TO KEEP THESE COOKIES SOFT: These cookies will stay soft and fresh in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to one week. Originally published June 2021.
