I got a bit crazy today and made some sugar cookie dough. It was the first time I've ever done this. I searched a bunch of sites for a recipe. I ended up picking the one that only needed ingredients that we already had at the house. I took a few liberties when putting the ingredients together such as adding a bit more milk than was asked for and putting a splash ov vanilla extract that wasn't in the recipe in the mix. I was actually quite surprised that they turned out okay.
For the icing, we used some Betty Crocker frosting that I think is mainly used for cakes. I always loved the sugar cookies my mom baked around this time of year and wanted to try to make some as close as possible to her recipe. The cookies came out good, but the frosting we used to paint the cookies was totally different than the icing I so fondly remember.
For a first effort, I don't think they turned out too bad. They look a lot worst than the taste, at least.
Dawn and I have been quite busy recently and apologize for the lack of posts on this blog. After the new year starts we'll hopefully be a bit more consitent.
I hope everyone has a great Christmas and a happy New Year!
