TWD (Tuesdays with Dorie) has been a bit relaxed this month, which was a very nice break, with all the holiday obligations this month.  When I saw that Ulrike of  Kuchenlatein had picked sugar cookies, I knew that this challenge would have to wait until I was at my sister’s so I could make the cookies with my 4 year old nephew.

I have an all time favorite sugar cookie recipe, but after making this one, I have to say that once again Dorie has not let me down and I have a new favorite.  I loved that the dough was not overly sweet and it rolled beauitfully for cut out cookies.  We  had so much fun cutting them out and so much fun eating the vanilla scented dough right from the bowl;  isn’t that what aunts are for?

We decided not to only use sprinkles but to also decorate them with a buttery butter cream frosting as well.  Very good recipe, I just hope we can save some for Santa!

Be sure to pour a big glass of milk and check out all the other TWD cookies this holiday season!   As well don’t forget about our holiday gift away and Menu for Hope!

I have been making cookies with MEM for the last 7 years!  Every year they get better and more creative.  I always look forward to seeing their creative minds at work as well as the sugared lips (or should I say colored) from eating more frosting then what goes on the cookies!  The MEM sugar cookies festival!
