Something sweet.

Baking cookies from scratch is something i've never been good at. But when you have 3 girls suggesting we bake something so they can do something fun on a sleepover, its kind of hard to say no. While i had some packets of chocolate chip cookie mixes, they wanted sugar cookies. It brought a smile to my face as i remembered an amazing recipe my mom had always used when i was growing up. I turned to the handy big orange cookbook that she had given me years back...







...only to realize that i didn't have the cream of tartar or almond extract. Thanks to google, i was able to find some substitution suggestions. Being as how i always screw up cookies from scratch, i was nervous about this whole ordeal. But in the end it turned out alright. (Even the white chocolate chip cookies we made when the girls decided they didnt want to wait for the sugar cookie dough to set in the fridge).

I think they came out well, and the kids said they were pretty yummy! It was a nice little something sweet.
