One of A Kind Christmas Sugar Cookies
Sugar cookies are a major part of any
Christmas celebration well, unless you’re me. However, my sister Anne is a
great cook and baker! Anne decided instead of using the traditional sugar
cookie recipe she would instead use a recipe from her favorite cook book, “The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Recipes from an Accidental Country Girl” by Ree Drummond.
This particular recipe calls for powder sugar which gives the cookies plenty of
sugar which means, no need for frosting!
