More Goodies!

They know my weakness!  The other day when Blaubeere and her kids were here they came prepared and planning on making cookies.  And not just any cookies, mind you.  They were planning on making my all time favorite cookie, frosted sugar cookies!  And she brought a really good recipe, too!  Of course, most stuff that Blaubeere makes is really good!  She's a "scratch" chef - almost everything she makes is from scratch and she has a collection of excellent recipes, some she knows so well she does them out of her head!  I'm impressed!

So they got out all the stuff and got to work!

This young man is getting pretty good all on his own.  And he enjoys it - a good combination!

She brought everything with her, much of it pre-measured, so it didn't take very long at all before we were rolling out dough.

Everybody pitched in, cutting cookies is, after all, pretty fun.

Some of the cookies were just smashed into shape.  We learned a valuable lesson about how much to "soften" the butter before adding it.  Liquefying it does have an affect on the dough.

Grandma has lots of cookie cutters so everyone got a wide variety to choose from.

I got some valuable instruction in the art of cookie sprinkles from an expert.

She was also the quality control specialist, have to sample the product to make sure we're turning out good cookies.

Of, course, its hard to go wrong with sugar cookies.  Smile!

When you get them cut and cooked you're only half done.  A proper sugar cookie, much like good brownies, has to be frosted to be complete.

Good, thick, done just right, sugar cookies!  Perfection! Among the foods eaten in heaven!

When all the cookies were through the oven then out came the frosting and decorating stuff.  Time for the art!  We were limited only by the fact that the only frosting we had was chocolate.  Of course, that's not entirely bad.

In the end, we ended up with some very fine looking cookies.  And they were every bit as yummy as they looked!

I like making cookies, its especially fun when there are kids involved.  And I like when Blaubeere cooks when she's here.  Its always so delicious!  Good people, good food, good times!  We need to do this again!
