Simple Sugar Cookie Cutout Recipe (Christmas Cookie Cutouts)

LikeDislike@sexylovestar2006 You probably can, but you need to use the equivalent amount. A cup of powdered sugar will have different amount of sugar (less) than a cup of granulated sugar

LikeDislike@LauraTrev1 You may have worked too much flour into the dough when rolling it out or baked them too long. They will most likely soften up if you keep them on a plate on the kitchen counter uncovered for a couple of days
