This years Christmas Cookies…!
I LOVE this time of year…where the world stops in my kitchen…I bake just about non-stop!
Here is my Butter Cookie Dough …that I used for all the cookies on this page…you can change the flavor by adding cinnamon, nutmeg, allsice, vanilla, orange, lemon or whatever you like…it changes the flavor of the dough and therefor the pastry…when baked it truly enhances the enjoyment with every bite…
Butter Cookie Dough
2 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp Vanilla
1 whole egg….use either large or jumbo size egg
1 3/4 sticks cold butter
Mix all ingredients in a food processor…..until it forms a ball….
Cut the dough into 4 parts…
Place the dough onto a board and roll it about 1/8 of an inch thick…
Cut out forms with cookie cutter…
Place the cut out cookies on a cookie sheet and bake them at 375 F..until lightly browned…
I have many friends who want my pastries…for their holiday festvities…they keep me happy and take them out of my kitchen…or I truly would be 300 pounds in no time at all!!!
I LOVE my own pastries…I guess it is because as I make and bake them I feel that my mother is with me the whole time…
We used to bake for Christmas and Easter since I was a teenager…and I so miss her at this time of year…baking and being in my kitchen…I feel she is with me every day and every hour…..
