Amazing Sugar Cookies

Over the years we have tried a few different sugar cookie recipes.

This recipe is by far the best one we've tried and we will be sticking with it for sure!

I'm not a fan of sugar cookies where the actual cookie doesn't have any flavor, you know, the ones that just taste like flour... 

Maybe that's why I love these cookies, not only are they thick and soft, they are so flavorful!

 My boys request to make these cookies all the time, and one of the things they like best is to pick out random shapes from our cookie cutter stash. This last time when we whipped these up was right before Valentine's Day though, so we decided to go with heart shapes.

Baseball Cookies

Hello hello! I hope you are all doing well :)

About a week ago we had a carnival day/fundraiser for the baseball league that my son's team is in.

They had lots of fun activities for the families, and of course lots of yummy looking treats :)

I volunteered to bring some baked goods. I baked the sugar cookies the day before, making just simple circle shapes, but for some reason I left the decorating until the morning of...

I wanted to originally do super hero designs or something along those lines, (like these sweet Justice League/Captain America cupcakes I had made a few months ago), but since we were short on time I had to come up with something else.

My son suggested I make baseball cookies.

(I had a total 'duh, why didn't I think of that?' moment, I mean they were for a fundraiser for baseball teams after all!...Oh well, it made me proud to see him come up with that idea on his own)

I'm so glad he did, because these were SO easy to decorate!

Easter cookies

I thought I would take a moment to share these little cuties before the holiday on Sunday.

We attended an activity for the Primary kids in our ward last Saturday, and I signed up to bring a dessert.

I let my son pick through my cookie cutter stash, and these are the ones he choose for us to use.

My son has a baseball game tomorrow, and I signed up to bring the snacks.
For the snack bags I am going to include a juice box, a pack of Cheez-its, a plastic Easter egg with a few candies, and these bunny cookies we whipped up.
