I'm so excited, my sister Laura is coming for a visit! We both love to be in the kitchen baking, so I don't think we'll be very sad if the forecast is right about another snowstorm hitting us upon her arrival tomorrow. We'll just have to bake our way out of this freezing cold winter! I can't wait!
Here's Laura's famous Sugar Cookie recipe. The best part about this recipe is there's no need to refrigerate! You can't beat that! You can make these babies just as fast (but waaay yummier) than a Betty Crocker mix!
Favorite (and fast) Sugar Cookies
1/2 cup (1 cube) butter-soft
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 Tb milk or cream (I only use 2 tsp because of the humid climate here)
Cream sugar and butter, then add additional ingreds. mix until well combined. then stir in:
1 3/4 cup flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
Lightly dust the counter with flour-roll out dough to desired thickness. Cut into shapes and place on a parchment line or lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 9 minutes. Watch closely, if the edges are starting to brown they are over done--or they're just right if you like a slightly crispy cookie. :)

holidays exist for sugar cookies alone. I now want to go buy sprinkles for St. Patty's Day, Easter, May Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, Labor Day...should I go on?
ok.
Victoria Day, Election Day, Veterans Day, and of course Kwanzaa.
I'm so glad you finally posted this recipe!! I couldn't find it last week and you WOULDN'T ANSWER YOUR DANG PHONE! (I need you to understand that your inability to be at my beck and call is quite irritating to me.) At least SOMEONE around here had their act together and gave it to HER sister a long time ago so that said sister would post said recipe on said sister's blog so it would be there when SOMEONE needed it. Yeah,{cough} Someone AMAZING! {Cough} Actually, what IS amazing is this recipe. HANDS DOWN the best sugar cookie. Ever.
--Glad to know it will be on 2 different blogs the next time I lose it. ;)

MAYBE YOU ACTUALLY DON'T AND YOU GO AROUND TO ALL THE BAKERIES THERE AND TAKE PICTURES AND THEN YOU ARE A FRAUD AND THEN REALLY YOU ARE NOT ALL THAT GREAT AND THEN IT WILL MAKE ME FEEL BETTER ABOUT MYSELF AND RIGHT NOW IM THINKING I HAVE LASHED OUT LIKE THIS BEFORE WHICH MUST REALLY MEAN IM WISHING I COULD MAKE BEAUTIFUL FOOD LIKE YOU!

I think you're right Zana. Either that or she's spending time talking on the phone with me. Oh, whoops, WAIT A MINUTE. She's NOT on the phone with me. Ever.
I'm in need of therapy so badly that my husband actually BEGGED me to call her. So I did!
And guess what?
