Oh Rhodas, I can’t believe I’m telling you this. But, if you want Santa to stop at your house first, bake these sugar cookies and leave them for him Christmas eve. These will make Rudolf’s nose light up. These will make Blitzen for-go the hooch for the long night if you leave some extra for him. These will make Mrs. Clause call you for the recipe. (She has me on speed dial.) I’ll telling you, there is something magic about these cookies.
Santa’s Favorite Sugar Cookies
1 1/2 Cups Butter, softened
2 Cups Sugar
4 Eggs
11/2 Teaspoon vanilla
5 Cups Flour
2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
1 Teaspoon Salt
Cream butter and sugar together until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla and beat. Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt. Cover or put in large baggie for an hour or overnight.
Roll out dough on floured surface 1/2 inch thick. Cut into shapes. Place cookies one inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 6 to 8 minutes in preheated oven. Cool completely. Then decorate for Santa, his reindeer and anyone you want to impress.
Don’t tell call ahead and tell Santa you’re baking them. If you do, I’ll tell him you stole the recipe from me and to leave you coal. But, if you can keep a secret, I’ll send him to your house next. Deal? Deal!
Merry Christmas
Silly Sandhill Sis
