I haven't started my cookie baking yet but here's some pictures from last year. Please forgive me for my messy house. For several years now I have continued the tradition of baking sugar cookies passed down from a family recipe from my dear MIL. Her recipe makes a huge batch of cookies and can be halved. I spread the project out over three days: 1) mixing the dough and chilling it the first day; 2) rolling out, cutting and baking the 2nd day; and making the frosting and frosting the cookies the 3rd and last day. My family (especially the guys) love lots of frosting. The full recipe makes a good 12 dozen.
Rolling out and cutting...
Frosting table all set up (with a place for my hubby - he volunteers to help frost)....
All frosted and ready to freeze or EAT!
We don't eat all of these cookies. We take back several cookie tins at Christmas for our family. Do you bake cookies at Christmas? What is your family's favorite kind of cookie?
