I posted about making sugar cookies on Instagram and received a number of emails (and comments) asking for the recipe. I figured I should share it here! (I love hearing how much everyone loved my our family favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe.)
The recipe is from my mom’s best friend from college’s mom’s recipe. My mom makes cut-outs allthe time. They are SO good.
Ingredients:
– 4 cups of flour
– 3 teaspoons of baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon of salt
– 1 1/2 cup of sugar
– 1 1/3 cup of Crisco
– 3 teaspoons of vanilla
– 2 eggs
– 8 teaspoons of milk
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Mix flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Blend sugar, Crisco, vanilla, and eggs
4. Add flour mix to sugar mix
5. Add milk, one teaspoon at a time
6. Mix until blended. Divide into two parts, wrap each in wax paper. Chill for one hour.
7. Roll out, cut out, and bake for 8-10 minutes.
Cool, ice, decorate.
My notes:
– My mom is a purist and glazes her cookies. It’s a quick mix of butter, vanilla, powdered sugar, and milk.
– The dough is unbelievably tough to mix well, but worth it. Just consider it your afternoon workout.
– When rolling out, put a sheet of wax paper (+ flour!) between the rolling pin and your dough. Work in batches!

Natalie Hi! Can you please share your mom’s purist recipe for glaze? It’s so hard to find a recipe that’s not royal icing or without corn syrup or eggs!

My Valentine + Valentine Baby ❣️ After a very stressful start to the year, Rory’s birth felt like a bright light of hope and positivity. I’m so, so grateful for a healthy (and speedy!) delivery with Mike by my side. (If you’re local, I switched to @madisonaveobgyn and this experience was night and day compared to my first pregnancy/delivery. I am *eternally* grateful for incredible care both during pregnancy and especially during delivery. It makes a huge difference.)

@get_nanit’s Pro Camera was one of the very first things I registered for with my first child and I just got a second one ahead of the birth of my second baby. It remains THE most used item from my registry– even two and half years later. It has given my husband and I the most peace of mind throughout every stage of our son’s development! With two way audio, split Screen, sleep reports, and personalized sleep tips we all sleep better.

We very, very sadly said goodbye to Hamilton today 💔 Our hearts are broken. Dogs don’t get cuter than Hammy. He crossed his legs, slept under the covers and with a pillow like a human, and was an unbelievable athlete (despite not really liking to go on walks). We love you Hambone 🦴

A cozy, rainy day in the city 🌧️ @samanthavarvel and I went to lunch and it was just the perfect excuse to actually get dressed, put on makeup, blow out my hair, and put on proper shoes 🤭
