Which type of sugar cookies are the best value in terms of getting the best taste for the price/cost? Refrigerated pre-made cookies that you put on a cookie sheet and cook in the oven, a dry cookie mix where you add butter and eggs or starting from scratch where you have to combine flour, sugar, baking powder , eggs, etc?
I used to do the rolled sugar cookies. You chill and cut and bake. Probably the cheapest that way. Pre-made cookies and cooky mixes can't be cheaper than your own.
Home baked are always the best. For sugar cookies, use real butter for the very best flavor. I think the unbleached flour tastes tons better than the bleached flour, so home made with real butter and unbleached flour are going to be your winners.
The butter is a bit expensive, but sugar cookies don't have a lot of expensive ingredients, so even with real butter, the cost should not be too frightening.
Premade stuff always, always, always tastes inferior because manufacturers tend to cut corners in order to increase profits by using lower quality ingredients. Sugar cookies are not hard at all to make from scratch.
I love to make them from scratch. I have a recipe that doesn't need to be chilled. You have to use real butter though...if you're going to use margarine, then just don't bother
The recipe I use is the old Wilton no-chill recipe. It really needs a stand mixer to come out right.
I perfer the homemade and chilling the dough, but I have to admit, I use the prepackaged dough more today than I used to, but I am not a huge user of sugar cookies either way...

No contest, homemade. There are many easy recipes available.
