Baking and decorating Christmas cookies is a fun holiday tradition I've always enjoyed! Using a great recipe passed down from my grandmother, the tradition continues...
Cream: 2 1/2 cubes butter and 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?
