In the morning, we made the sugar cookies. I was given a great sugar cookie recipe that is very simple, but taste great! The kids always love helping me measure out ingredients and pour them in the bowl. We had gotten everything out and had started mixing the ingredients when I realized that I was out of stick butter. I was afraid that using tub butter would mess up the cookies, since we were rolling and cutting them into shapes. If we were going to go to all that trouble, I wanted to make sure something stupid like using the wrong type of butter didn't mess them up. Anyway, so I called my neighbor down the street who is super sweet and asked her if she had any unsalted stick butter. I promised her some of the finished product if I could have some butter. Ha! One of her sons rode his bike down to our house and delivered two sticks of butter! Now that's a great neighbor! :)
After the cookie dough was made, it had to go in the refrigerator for at least an hour to get firm.
