Oh, white velvet sugar cookies. You kill me! Or in other words: I can’t stop eating you.

Completely buried in my archives (I posted about these amazing white velvet sugar cookies waaaaay back in 2009 when life was different and my pictures were terrible – see bottom of this post for proof), these unique and delicious sugar cookies deserve a little shout out.
