Here is the recipe I use for my Sugar Cookies... it is a winner every time.<br />
Here is the recipe I use for all my sugar cookies. I give credit where I got the recipe is from "Simply Better a Small Cookie Book" put out by Better Homes and Gardens I tweaked it for my own likings so this is NOT exactly the same as it is in the book<br />
<br />
1 cup salted butter ( I only use REAL sweet cream butter)<br />
3/4 cup sugar<br />
1 egg<br />
3 cups all purpose flour<br />

<br />
1 cup salted butter ( I only use REAL sweet cream butter)<br />
3/4 cup sugar<br />
1 egg<br />
3 cups all purpose flour<br />
A couple drops of Almond Extract (I use Wilton Almond... love it)<br />
<br />
Preheat your oven to 300 degrees.<br />
<br />
I cream the butter and the sugar together then add the egg and mix till well combined. Add just a couple drops of Almond Extract. Add one cup of flour and mix well. Add the second cup and mix well. Then I add a half cup and mix well then I add the remaining 1/2 cup a little at a time making sure the dough does not get too hard. If it looks like it is, don't add any more flour.<br />
<br />
Divide the dough in half cover the bowl with a towel while you work with the other half. Roll out on a floured surface about 1/8" thick and cut your shapes. Try to not overwork the dough or the cookies are not as flaky. I roll mine with a soft hand. Meaning not to push real hard on the roller just quick soft motion.<br />
<br />
Put your cookies 1" apart. You can cook on parchment if you want.<br />
I use both the mini cutters and the regular size cutters. ALWAYS have the same size on the pan. Never bake big and little cookies together. They bake differently.<br />
the regular size cookie cutter I bake for 11 minutes. The mini cutter size I bake for 7 minutes.<br />
<br />
Icing<br />
2 cups powdered sugar<br />
2 TBSP milk<br />
1 tsp Almond Extract (again I use Wilton)<br />
Add the milk to the powdered sugar mixing well if you need the icing thinner, just add a tad bit more milk. I love to ice my cookies and dip them into sanding sugar.<br />
<br />
These stay fresh for about a month as long as you store them in a cool sealed container. I have baked them and stored them for a month and are as soft as the day I made them. This recipe DOES NOT get hard ever. Unless you over bake them. I always bake ALL of my cookies at 300 for a longer time. Most cookies I bake at 300 for 16 minutes. If you are using the small cutters only bake them for 6 to 7 minutes. They bake much quicker. Hope you enjoy this recipe!

I can share my recipes but you all will have to do the work this year!!! Surgery is next week and I have run out of time to make cookies this year. Boo Hoo... I LOVE making Christmas cookies. I used to do the same Terri... and my children would be my elves and deliver them. Loved making people smile. I now usually bake for all of our grown children and ship them a box of cookies but this year is out. Our daughters are coming to take care of me the week after my surgery and was thinking about…

I now usually bake for all of our grown children and ship them a box of cookies but this year is out. Our daughters are coming to take care of me the week after my surgery and was thinking about getting them going on the cookies but I highly doubt that I will be up to making cookies the week that they will be here. Nothing says Christmas more than sharing with those you love! Great Idea.

Great idea, Terri! I need to think about what I want to share. I always tell my family I'm going to cut down on the number of varieties of cookies I'm going to do, but they each have their favorites and insist I have to at least make THOSE. So, yes, I end up with hundreds of cookies (not thousands - can I be your friend?? :) ) and we share with our friends as well. Every year my husband watches me load up the boxes and asks "Are there going to be enough for us?" and I ask him "How many dozen…
