February 11, 2012

deep house cleaning day....washing all the wood floors and all the chair rails...took all day but it looks wonderful.

ross set up a computer area in the kitchen today...so I dont have my laptop on the counter....he calls it BLOG CENTRAL.

made some Sugar Cookies for cookie hour at church tomorrow...first time to make them.....they came out just like Betty Crocker said they would...pg 127 for the cookies and pg 86 for the frosting.

Sugar Cookies:
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup butter
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp almond extract
1 egg
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cream of tartar

mix all ingredients together in large bowl....cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.

divide dough in half ...roll to 1/4 inch and cut to whatever shape.

preheat oven to 375 degrees....grease cookie sheets.....place on pan and cook for 8 - 10 minutes or until edges become light brown.....remove and place cookies on wire rack to cool.




Vanilla Buttercream Frosting:
3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup butter
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
2 Tbsp milk

mix sugar and butter together....add in milk and vanilla...beat until smooth.



Had fun making them....love trying something new.

Heard word late tonight that Whitney Houston passed....so young.....only 48.  Life is short....make sure you hug your family and tell them how much you love them.

Pleasant Dreams!!!
