There is not 
a lot that tastes better than a homemade cookie baked with love. I always use my great grandmother’s 100-year-old sugar cookie recipe that has been passed down through my family for many years. Many hands have made it, but it always amazes me that a recipe can still bring so much joy… and taste delicious!
Tonight, I made these homemade sugar cookies with my sweet daughter and her precious friends. As I rolled out the dough, they cut it into fun shapes, laughed and sang together. I think they ate more dough than the baked cookies! But that didn’t stop them from decorating the warm cookies with icing and sprinkles.
What a blessing it was to bon
d over a simple recipe – a little flour, sugar, butter and a whole lot of love. I cherish every little memory with my daughter. When she grows older, I want her to remember all the good times we had in the kitchen baking, cooking, laughing and singing. I look back fondly on my days in the kitchen with my family and I am so grateful that I have the opportunity to share this joy with my daughter. This will be one of my legacies of love I leave her.
I hope this recipe brings you as much joy as it has brought us. Enjoy!
Blessings,
Gigi
