Recipe #9: Sparkling Sugar Cookies

Recipe #9: Sparkling Sugar Cookies

Posted by Unknown

Our family tradition around Christmas has always been to roll out some store bought sugar cookie dough, gather around the table, and frost away for hours. This year I decided to make sugar cookies from scratch and wow what a difference! The dough was simple and quick to make. I don't typically like sugar cookies but I think it's because I was always eating the store bought stuff, I could eat these cookies all day long.

For frosting my mom mixes together powdered sugar, butter, and food coloring. My siblings don't exactly enjoy frosting all the cookies but it is a tradition that we follow through on each year. As you can see from the picture we aren't exactly gifted at decorating cookies but we do our best and all that really matters is how they taste. 

Now that my husband and I have a son we will start our own holiday traditions with him and this recipe will be made year over year.
