Christmas Cookies

We had a great time decorating some sugar cookies! I made the cookies and baked them while Wesley was at school. Later that night we decorated them with some homemade frosting and lots of sugar :) When I was a child my Gramma Colwell made us so many goodies at Christmas. When we moved from Illinois to New Hampshire when I was 9 we always looked for the “big brown truck” to bring the big box full of goodies and presents. She even sent them to me when I was in college! That care package certainly didn’t last long in a dorm full of stressed out and home sick girls. Now that I have my own children I am sharing this yummy recipe with them! It is certainly the best sugar cookie that I have ever eaten! She doesn’t bake anymore because my Grammpa has diabetes and she doesn’t want to tempt him! So, it has been up to me the past few years to make my own cookies! Maybe in a few more years I will have them perfected just as Gramma did.
