On the Twelfth Day of Cookies...


Sugar Cookies! You can't have Christmas without Sugar Cookies!


I sprinkled them with large sugar crystals for that extra sparkle :)


I hope you enjoyed the Twelve Days of Cookies! Have a WONDERFUL Christmas!


Sugar Cookies-
3/4 C. Butter
1 C. Sugar
2 Eggs
1/2 tsp. Lemon Extract
2 1/2 C. Flour
1 tsp. Baking Powder
1 tsp. Salt

Mix butter, sugar, eggs, and flavoring thoroughly. Measure flour by dipping or sifting. Stir flour, baking powder, and salt together; blend in. Chill at least 1 hour. Roll, cut and bake at 400 degrees. Bake for 6-8 minutes.

Sugar Cookie Icing-
2 C. Sifted Powdered Sugar
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Vanilla
3 T. Cream (add more or less to desired consistency)

Blend sugar, salt, and vanilla. Add cream to make it easy to spread. Tint with a few drops of food coloring. Spread on cookies.

  1. I just printed all twelve days of cookies. They all look good. It will take me a while to bake these but I think I will get too many of them. Thanks for keeping me busy. I am not sure my boss or my family will thank you, though. After they eat, perhaps.
