Oh my, how the time has gone by since my last blog.  I am so sorry my dear friends,  I ended up with that nasty flu over the Christmas holidays, and there was  no cooking or baking done for Christmas here this year.  But finally seem to be getting back on my feet, and a little cooking being done now and then.  I did take some pictures of some things, so I will try to catch you all up on some things.

Hope everyone had a Blessed Christmas and a great New Year!!!

Well, today I will share a recipe with you that I got from a free book from Amazon entitled Grandma's Best Cookie Recipes by Marg Ruttan.  This is a sugar cookie recipe, and became a big hit at the Super Bowl party - lol - the little girls requested "cookies with icing and sprinkles" lol.  Enjoy!

Grandma's Best Sugar Cookies

1 cup butter (margarine may be used, but the taste of butter in these is recommended)
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
1/2 tsp. salt
2 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 375 F.
Cream together butter and sugar.  Add eggs and beat thoroughly.  Stir in vanilla, cream of tartar, and salt.  Gradually mix in flour.
Using cookie scoop, scoop dough onto ungreased cookie pans. You may also roll into 1' balls and place on ungreased cookie pans.  Using floured tines of fork, gently press into 1 and 1/2" circles.
Bake cookies 8 - 10 minutes, or until golden brown.

Yield using cookie scoop : 38 cookies

Decorated with premade (canned) butter cream icing and a variety of sprinkles.

The sweetness of the icing, counters the lack of sweetness in the sugar cookie!!! I really liked them!!
