Cookies

Ok so the night before Thanksgiving I decided to make some cookies and have Lexi and I frost them to take to my parents house the following day. Well I got a receipe for sugar cookies from my friend Melissa's blog and they were by far the BEST ever so thanks Melissa!! Anyway here are some pics of us frosting them...

And this is how Shelby helped with all the cookie fun!! Yummy Frosting!!!!!

Here is the receipe for the best sugar cookies you will ever taste!

3 C flour

1 t. baking powder

1 t. baking soda

1/2 t. salt

2 beaten eggs

1 C sugar

1 C shortening

1 t. vanilla

Cream eggs and sugar together. Cream in shortening-add vanilla and dry ingredients. Add flour until blended-form into ball, taking sections to roll out and cut into shapes. Roll out thick and bake no more than 8 minutes at 350. Cookies should be white on the bottom as well as on the top. They look like they are nor done-they continue to bake as they cool. Let cool 5 minutes then remove from pan. Great for all holidays! Dont forget to frost them!
