Let's Make Christmas Cookies!

Baking and decorating Christmas cookies is a fun holiday tradition I recall from my earliest days! Using a great recipe passed down from my grandmother, the tradition continues...

Sugar Cookies

Cream: 2 1/2 cubes butter

2 cups sugar

Add: 2 eggs

Sift: 5 cups flour

4 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. salt

Add flour to sugar mixture, adding 1/2 cup milk as you stir.

Chill for approximately one hour

Roll & Cut

Bake @ 375 degrees, 8-10 minutes

Let cool and have fun DECORATING!!

{this recipe makes a lot of cookies...cut in half for a reasonable number}

Roll

Cut

Bake

We mixed up a bright selection of frosting...

...and made certain there was a fun collection of sprinkles.

Let the decorating begin!

My favorite.

A rather unorthodox & creative interpretation of a gingerbread man...uh, lady.

Hey, no snacking on the job!

Dig in, everyone gets a sample!

What festivities do you have in store for the week?
