Memaw’s Christmas Sugar Cookies. Finally got the energy up to make them with the Grandson who is 3. No, I did not attempt to make them with the 1 year old, but I did let her help frost them!!! They turned out perfect and thanks to my Daughter-in-law, Jake did great!!! She lets him help in the kitchen so he actually knew what to do with a rolling pin! Here’s the photos of him doing the same pose as his Dad many years ago. He thought this was cool! Here’s the recipe again for anyone who wants to give it a go with kids or grandkids. My little hint is to make sure to use plenty of flower and cover whatever surface you are using with plastic wrap.

Sugar Cookies
2 cups sifted flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup margarine, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon milk
Sift together 1 1/2 cups of the flour with the baking powder and salt.
Cream margarine with sugar, add egg, vanilla, and milk.
Add sifted ingredients to the butter mixture then add remaining flour until stiff enough to handle.
Chill at least one hour.
Roll out dough and cut with cookie cutters.
Bake at 325 degrees, 8-10 minutes until light brown.
(hint: double the recipe, they are delicious)
