Sugar Cookies using my Grandma's recipe are THE Christmas tradition in my family. I have years and years of memories making them. They are so much work that they are, essentially, a group project. Last year when my grandpa was sick, I took on the task myself because I wanted that Christmas to include all of my family's traditions even though it was such a difficult year for all of us. This year, I had my hubby to help with the process, so it went a little more smoothly. Either way, the entire baking process for only about 4 dozen cookies ended up spanning 3 days. Good thing that they are oh SO worth it. Take a look:
 |
| crisco (!) sugar, vanilla, salt, and baking powder |
 |
| creamy and smooth before the flour is added... |
 |
| 5 whole cups of flour go into each batch... carbs, yum. |
 |
| Bears, Bells, and Trees- oh my! |
 |
| sugar time |
What are your Christmas traditions? Were you able to accomplish them this year?
I was able to cram 11 cookies in the VCR! :)
