Sweet...salty...buttery. These are things of joy. I have never actually iced them before... at least that I can remember. The icing is incredibly easy. Just a fork, a bowl, a lob of confectioners sugar, a drop vanilla and couple tablespoons of milk. Stir it a few times and it magically comes together. Divide into a few other bowls and put one drop of food coloring in and there you go. Instant goodness. I bought some cookie cutters a while back. I saw some show, or it might have been a magazine article, about how to do designs in royal icing. It is very similar to those cool designs people do in coffee with cream: toothpicks and knowhow. I gave it a shot, and to my surprise, it is pretty easy to make things look pretty good. They also taste really really good.
I remember when I worked for Barnes and Noble for a while. The sugar cookies were nearly forbidden. The amount of calories in those suckers trumps every other cookie by a huge margin. They are sitting in my kitchen right now... waiting.... waiting. I am only eating one a day. I am letting the kids have way more than that.
We are planning on making chocolate chip for Santa. mmm Chocolate Chip, Santa likes those too.
