DOLLY PARTON'S SUGAR COOKIES
When I make sugar cookies, this is the only recipe I use. I'm convinced there is no better. The taste is out of this world, and the dough rolls and keeps its shape beautifully.

Steps:
- Cream sugar and butter together in a large bowl, beating until well incorporated.
- Add the egg yolks and lemon zest. Beat until well mixed.
- Sift the flour over the wet ingredients, and mix just until combined.
- Knead together very gently until it forms enough of a ball to plop onto a piece of plastic wrap. Work the dough just enough to get it to stick together, but be careful not to overdo it. Honestly, I get so paranoid about overworking the dough that I pile the crumbs onto the plastic wrap, fold it up around the mound, and press it together that way.
- Completely wrap the dough with the plastic wrap.
- Chill dough for three hours.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Roll out dough - I go as thin as 1/8 inch, but I prefer about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into shapes, adding additional flour as necessary to avoid sticking.
- Place cookie shapes on a cookie sheet (no need to grease) and bake for about 8 minutes, just until the cookies start to turn pinky beige around the edges.
- Let cool for a couple of minutes on the baking sheet, then move to wire rack to cool completely.
- Eat plain or decorate with sugar cookie icing.

Tips:
- For the best results, use high-quality ingredients. This means using real butter, sugar, and eggs. It also means using a good quality flour. A good all-purpose flour or cake flour will work well for these cookies.
- Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start. This will help them to cream together more easily.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will take about 2-3 minutes on medium speed with a stand mixer or hand mixer.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Once all of the eggs are added, the mixture may look curdled. This is normal and will smooth out once the flour is added.
- Gradually add the flour to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling and baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to brown.
- Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before frosting or decorating.
