I want to make sugar cookies but are they the same thing as butter cookies?

Sugar cookies are more sugary where as butter cookies are kind of a Brittish thing. They go good for any occassion and almost every likes them. There are also several varities of butter cookies. They all have a basic recipe, but some will have sugar crystals on top and some will me like a pinwheel and have chocolate in them. I would go with the butter cookies because anyone can eat them and everyone likes them. :)

They're similar, but definitely different. Sugar cookies are chewier; butter cookies are crumbly but rich, and are made with (obviously) more butter. Butter cookies don't rise very much, whereas sugar cookies do.
If you're bringing the cookies to a holiday party, I recommend bringing sugar cookies if there will be a lot of kids (they're also very decoration- and frosting-friendly), but butter cookies if there are mostly adults, since they seem--to me, at least--more sophisticated.

This is not so much an answer as an additional question... Do both butter cookies and sugar cookies have vanilla extract?

"Sugar cookies" usually have this very thing ON them.
