Christmas Sugar Cookies


Baking and decorating sugar cookies is one of my favorite Christmas traditions. When I was growing up, my mom would bake a batch or two and then me and my 4 siblings would have a blast decorating them with buttercream frosting and sprinkles.

When we were through, we would deliver multiple plates to some of our neighbors and friends. We always had a great time, except my parents would usually make us carol at every doorstep and lets just say my family wasn't blessed with much musical talent :)

My husband and I have been married for over 5 years, and I'm proud to say that we have continued this tradition (besides the caroling) every year!

  6. I made sugar cookies last night and also did a candy cane, Christmas Tree and star! I have to tell you, I learned an AWESOME tip from Alton Brown on the Food Network. Instead of using flour to roll your dough in, use powdered sugar. It prevents the cookies from becomming to gluteney, if that is a word and is SOOOO much easier to clean up off the counter. No gooey mess. Just thought I would share!
