One Dozen Cut Out Sugar cookies, so cute and perfect! Use any shape cutter you like!
The third most-requested cookie recipe from y'all last week was cut-out sugar cookies. I shared this recipe last year, and I'm so happy to share it again because I happen to think it's the cutest recipe on this site. I may be biased, but I'm also right.
Today is a perfect day to stay home and roll out sugar cookies because we just got our first snow here in north eastern Kansas. There's no way they would let someone like me on the road today: I have a California driver's license and Texas license plates on my car. I get disqualified from driving in snow automatically. Not to mention, there's no way I could keep my eyes on the road because I cannot stop staring at the snow. I love it when the wind blows flurries of snowflakes! Our yard looks like a Christmas card. When the snow plows came through the neighborhood at 2am last night, I hopped out of bed like a kid who heard Santa in the chimney. Only a Southerner would marvel at such things.
So, for the safety of everyone, I'll stay home and bake. If anyone should slide down into our cul-de-sac and not be able to get out, they've got cookies awaiting. I'm worried about the 5 deer that live in woods behind our house. What do animals do in the snow? Maybe they'd like some cookies too?
The Mr and I are off to Dallas for the first part of Christmas, then head to Georgia for the rest. There's no doubt I'll be posting photos on Instagram. Don't worry, he's driving us to Dallas.
Enjoy!

Sugar cookies are definitely a favorite for our family. My plan this year is for Nana to bake the cookies and on Christmas after brunch and gifts.....the grands are going to decorate the cookies. I better get busy!!
I'm glad you are enjoying the snow, it is beautiful. May you have a blessed time with your family and safety for the two of you as you travel. :)

Maggie is right about the deer, so don't worry. Unless it's deep, they will push it away. Being in North Dakota, I know about snow.

Awww. These cookies are really cute. As a girl who was raised in Colorado, I can say driving in snow is scarry. Well maybe I'm a little biased because I've only had my lisence for almost 3 years. I too would rather just look at all the little snow flurries. :)
