Let's Make Cookies!

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?
