National Sugar Cookie Day

[dropcap class=”kp-dropcap”]I[/dropcap]n summertime, it’s common to see recipe guides for the season. Click bait articles frequently tease “The top ten recipes for seasonal vegetables” or “How to make the best barbecue food” around this time of year. But we here at CULTURE are vying to promote a different lifestyle for you this summer. This is for those who did not get their bods beach-ready, for the people out there whose eye for sweets is stronger than that of a roasted vegetable salad. Today is National Sugar Cookie Day—arguably one of the best cookies for summertime. It won’t melt in your hands, or at the very least, it will warm up and retain that gooey, deliciously soft texture. Add a dose of cannabis (especially some infused strain of the same name) and you’ve got the perfect snack for sitting poolside. Enjoy your cookies in peace without the telltale sounds of Christmas tunes in the background.
