One food item that has been missing from past Christmases is cookies. I definitely do not like boxed cookies but freshly made ones are a different story. Prodded by the girls, we decided to bake some cookies this year. We decided to start with Sugar Cookies from Creative Culinary website. I like when I see recipes have been used over and over. We only made half the recipe.
I am embarrassed to say we bought a William Sonoma cookie kit more than a year ago, and only now we are using it for the first time. Using it was easy and quick to push out the cookie shapes. We spent more time switch the rings to get the different shaptes. The cookies turned out well. Definitely will be making these again!
