First: We have the ultimate sugar cookie! How is Christmas complete without frosted sugar cookies? Don't want to frost them yourself? Grab the nearest kid, I'm sure they'd be happy to help! :)
***My measurements are a little less than scientific or exact. I hate having to look at a piece of paper every step while I'm cooking/baking, but for those of you that would like a recipe, this will get ya there!***
Chewy Sugar Cookies
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 containers of pre-made frosting (I use the Pillsbury Whipped frosting in Vanilla)
Food colors of your choice
Preheat oven to 350 F. Make sure your butter is very soft and then beat together the butter and sugar until creamy, then add the eggs and vanilla extract and beat until light and fluffy. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Now mix together your butter mixture with the flour mixture until well blended. Roll the dough into balls and place on a non-stick cookie sheet. You can make big balls or small balls...your choice. I prefer big balls. (Stop laughing right now!!!) Now bake your dough balls for approximately 10 minutes. You'll know that the cookies are done when they are a nice light brown around the edges. Let your cookies cool for at least a half hour and then you can begin decorating them! Have fun and go wild! Use your imagination and your candy drawer to bring those cookies to life! Here are a few pics of the ones I made this year...enjoy!
