Powdered Sugar

Cookies have long been a part of my family’s holiday traditions. I have always made cookies to give out to people and to have on hand for guests who stop by. But most importantly I have always made sugar cookies for our family to decorate. Decorating them is as much fun as the eating. Everyone gets to display their artistic talents. We give a few to Santa (no matter how good we have been throughout the year it never hurts to hedge our bets) and on Christmas Day we proudly display our works of art on the dessert table and then proceed to gobble them up!
