I've mentioned it already, but now I've finally done it! Sugar Christmas Cookies! Frosted! Of course, not terribly good for you, but a delicious indulgence of the season. Not a bad way to spend a chilly, winter-weather-advisory evening after completing your Christmas shopping, finally putting up your Christmas tree, and kicking back by the fire. These definitely fall into the soft, buttery crumble category of Christmas cookie - my personal favorite. It comes from my new mother-in-law.
2 c sugar1 1/2 c butter
3 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
5 c flour
1 tsp baking soda in hot water (about a Tbs of hot water)
Mix dry and wet ingredients separately, gently mixing in the wet to the dry.
To frost:
1 c powdered sugar
2-3 Tbs milk
1 tsp melted butter
1/4 tsp vanilla
pinch of salt
food coloring as desired
beat ingredients together, adding milk last - one Tbs at a time until you reach your desired consistencey. Add food coloring and play!
