Growing up, Christmas time meant my mom doing lots of baking! She would take
her "goodie plates" to her neighbors and friends every year. She had quite
the reputation, especially for her one and only sugar cookies. In one word, yummo!!!
I have had some practice in making her sugar cookies, so I decided to start
getting out there and doing the baking thing myself. (Even though we'll be
heading into town this weekend to help my mom with hers! ha!)
It's a good feeling to take a recipe that was "handed" down to me, and have
it actually turn out good! After baking the cookies earlier today,
the girls and I sat down tonight, with our Christmas music in the background,
and went to decorating!!!!
It's frosting time! I'm amazed that there was any frosting left after thegirls did their five cookies! It won't stop getting on my fingers MOM!!!!
Enjoying a little treat!!!!
The finished product!!!!
After we were finished, I made up all the plates and me and the girls tookthem to every neighbor in our cul-de-sac (mom, you would be proud, I even
took them to the new neighbors that I DIDN'T know and introduced ourselves!)
Then we drove around and gave them to friends and the few family members
who live out here! It was really fun and the girls loved it. It was raining and so
it was chilly and we got wet! After dropping cookies at a friends house, I said,
girls watch out for that huge puddle! As I proceeded to step right in it! Getting
my right leg, from the knee down, soaken wet! Sheesh! Anyway, it was
definitely a good time!!!! And mmmmmm, the cookies sure are good!!!!
