Happy Tuesday!!
Since I have SO much content this week, I need more than my usual three blog posts. Yay!!!
This weekend, my friend Anna and I are hosting our 4th Annual Cookie Exchange. Our girlfriends look forward to this party every year, and this year no exception. We’re doing a brunch along with it, so I’m sure it will a huge hit.
In honor of this trusty tradition, I thought it was best to share three of my absolute favorite cookie recipes with you. I may or may not make one of these for the exchange this weekend. It will be a surprise 🙂
Sugar Cookies – I have searched far and wide for a sugar cookie recipe that not only is easy to work with, but also tastes amazing. Look no further, friends… (PS-Happy Hanukkah)
Spritz Cookies. If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I have had a bit of a debacle with my cookie press this past week. Long story long, I broke my trusty cookie press last Thursday (the spring broke). Then, I went to Target to get a new one. That one was designed by an idiot and the gap between the cookie press and the cookie sheet was way too big.. Then I got one at Sur La Table and that didn’t work either. SO, I have a new one coming from Amazon tomorrow. If this doesn’t work, I might quit life. So frustrating.
Gingerbread Cookies– My dear colleague gave me the recipe for “Double Ginger” Cookies last year, and I thought I’d modify them to make gingergread men and, guess what? It worked! Yay! These little dudes are SO good. The spice in them is the perfect amount. Yummmm.
2 eggs
Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and molasses and blend well. Sift dry ingredients together. Add half of dry mixture to creamed mixture and blend with a mixer. Add remaining half and blend by hand. Chill dough for several hours.
