Day 5 of the cookie bake-a-thon, and it's time for classic sugar cookies! (Only 1 day left!)
I'm usually not into decorating cookies with icing or sprinkles--at all. My sister is the queen of this; her sugar cookies are always perfectly glazed, smooth as little skating rinks, with patiently drawn borders, dots, and squiggles. I'd rather put more effort into the cookie's appearance before it's baked. I'll roll them in sprinkles, or shape them into crescents, I'll even sandwich two doughs together, roll them up and make a pinwheel, though that's pushing it. The point is, once the cookie's out of the oven, I JUST WANT TO EAT IT.
It's time to start shakin and bakin...Mardi Gras is March 8, so there's still time to get in lots of slices of king cake. I suggest you try making one, if you're into really big, scrumptious art projects that go great with coffee. I also believe that a warm Sunday afternoon is the perfect time to try it.
