let them eat… cookies. (and some blog love.)

yum.



Disclaimer: If you are on a diet, I suggest you just skip to the bottom half of this post.  Otherwise, proceed.



I make really good sugar cookies.  I’m not trying to toot my own horn, but it’s true.  It’s not really bragging anyway because it’s my mom’s recipe. And any recipe of my mom’s is like out of this world good.  Like these sugar cookies.  They are so good that Mr. will just stand at the counter and eat 5 in one sitting.  They are the kind of good that you just don’t get sick of.  Seriously, if left to my own devices, I could eat 10 of these a day.  And since I believe that all good things should be shared, here you go: 





 Sugar Cookies

preheat oven: 375 degrees



1 cup butter

1 cup Sugar

2 Eggs

1 tsp vanilla

3 cups flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt



Cream butter and sugar, blend in eggs and vanilla.  Add dry ingredients, mix well.  Refrigerate for 1 hour.  Roll out on a floured surface.  Cut out, place on a cookies sheet, bake 7-9 minutes. 

 Let cool, frost. 

(I recommend a cream cheese frosting.  It’s the most delectable.) 





Want something equally sweet without all the calories?






Meet Katie from High Heels and Bubble Gum.



She’s totally gorgeous and sassy, a lover of sweets (like me), and wears a Victoria Beckham bob like it’s nobody’s business.  So. jealous.  

Plus, the girl rocks a pair of amazing heels like every day.



Enough said.
