Our family is not quite "normal." I think we've established that already. The holidays are no exception. So when Mel and Michele prompted us once again, I couldn't resist sharing.
'KETCHUP WITH US' - PROMPT #7
SHARE A FAVORITE HOLIDAY RECIPE. THERE IS NO WORD LIMIT.
(WELL, LET’S NOT GET CRAZY. HOW ABOUT NOTHING OVER 1000 WORDS?)
Christmas Eve is a Crocker Family tradition. We take turns hosting, and it's always snackie foods... dips, meatballs, shrimp, cookies, libations...
I usually bring a chicken wing or taco dip, nuts and a cookie tray. Please let me share my favorite cookie recipe with you - passed down through at least six generations, Miss Sassypants being the latest.

YUM! I love the sugar cookie dough! These sound perfect. Thanks for sharing and linking up!
ReplyDeleteWe usually have to make a double batch... otherwise there is barely enough dough left to make the cookies!
DeleteI'm a cookie monster (not the cute kind) so we might just have to try this recipe this year. My biggest problem is always rolling them thin enough so I don't wind up with bloated, amorphous blobs to decorate from the oven.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up!
I PROMISE you that if you try these, you won't be disappointed. Bon appetit!
DeleteThe perfect Santa treat.
ReplyDeleteHe loves them. ;-)
