My favorite sugar cookie recipe was handed down to me from my mother. Our kids called her Mema. She got the recipe from her mother, my Granny Lucille. I passed the recipe to my daughters and granddaughters, and now to you!

Recipe: Sugar Cookies

Directions

Cream together...

3/4 Cup Sugar
1/2 Cup Butter,
2 Eggs, and
1 Teaspoon Vanilla together.

Sift...

2 Cups Flour
2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 Teaspoon Salt together.

Mix flour mixture into the sugar/better/egg/vanilla mixture.

Chill dough...at least 20 minutes.

Roll out dough on a floured surface, and cut with cookie cutters.
Bake on cookie sheets at 375 degrees for 6 to 8 minutes.

Makes 2 - 3 dozen cookies (depending on size of cookie cutter).

Sprinkle with powdered sugar, or top with icing and decorations.

Note: Sometimes I make my own icing, but usually I purchase icing already made. It's also fun to melt chocolate wafers and dip cookies in melted chocolate or top cookies with melted chocolate.

DIY EASTER BASKETS

(Do It Yourself)

Here are my unique, handmade,

DIY (do-it-yourself) Easter baskets!

I created the baskets using paper french-fry-like baskets; wired, faux pussy-willow branches; stickers; and ribbon.

You could cover the paper baskets with scrapbook paper or fabric, but I love the look and texture of the paper just like it is.

Gather Supplies.

Punch Holes for Decoration & Sewing.

Stitch With Ribbon.

My daughter, Faith, hand-braided ribbons to create beautiful handles.

I also cut wired, faux-pussy willow branches to use as handles.

I have made ten Easter baskets,
and I have ten more to make --
then I will fill them with homemade goodies!

Watch for more ideas and recipes
in upcoming blogs!

BUNNY TALES: The FUN Easter and The REAL Easter

Mar 14, 2014

I called each child up individually, and made sure the children couldn't hear each other. I typed up their responses; printed them off; and the children added the paper with their story to a bunny craft they created in class.
