Hi, I'm Holli, and I am a
cookie snob. I'm also a lazy blogger, but, you know. Stuff and things and life happens. But cookie snobbery... I like my cookies soft. I'd eat 'em under-done a million times before I'd eat 'em over done. It's just my thing. Chips Ahoy? Ugh. Why would I ever...? NO. I have a favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe from my mom that involves tons of butter and can only be made in mass quantity, but I'll share that one another day. This one is also a recipe from my mom, one she's made as long as I can remember, and I'll never make another sugar cookie recipe. They are not only soft, but they are also just the right amount of sweet, you know? You slather frosting on these bad boys (the cream cheese variety if you have any sort of self respect), so the cookies themselves don't need to overwhelm you with sweetness, and these are perfect. We made them with Charly recently and she loved cutting them out and choosing sprinkles for each one.
Soft Sugar Cookies
Ingredients
1 cup softened butter
1 egg
1 cup sugar
1 Tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla
2 3/4 c sifted flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
Directions
Cream together butter, egg, sugar, milk and vanilla. Slowly add flour, baking powder and salt until combined. Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour. Roll out dough between 1/2-1/2 inch thick (thicker cookies = softer cookies). Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes. Cool before frosting.

| Charly enjoyed making them. I guess Charly thinks cookie making = no shirt |

If you are jonesing for another delightful Christmas treat, don't forget about our
super easy fudge recipe I shared last year! This year we tried a new variation with toffee bits on top. Delish! I've made a few batches (and eaten my fair share) already this year. It isn't Christmas without the fudge!
