Baking sugar cookies and frosting cookies provided me with  quiet solitude and a media-free distraction  from the horrific  tragedy and subsequent details  at Sandy Hook Elementary.  So this post is simply my sugar cookie recipe and a chance to show my daughter’s {home from college} cookie decorating skills .  I don’t  think she believes I have a blog named,  ”I am Not a Trophy Wife.”  Seriously.  Oh and I went with shades of primary colors.

I mixed the frosting in disposable cups and then place them in my Wilton icing bottles.  I love these little guys!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is a vintage cookie cutter from my grandmother’s collection.  I love the red knob to hold and cut the dough.  I don’t own many heirlooms, but I love this because I love to make sugar cookies!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also love this photo because it shows the thickness of my sugar cookies.  I go big and chunky because it minimizes  ”breaks” in the dough.

 

 

 

My daughter and I got to frosting the cookies for our annual Mother-Daughter ornament exchange.  Post on this annual event coming soon!

Here’s a few more cookies.  We outlined the mittens to give them a little more “pop” of color.

A few more…
