The mister, Eben and I made the organic sugar cookies and organic frosting the night before – a favorite among the children were the gingerbread and snowmen shapes.
Want to throw a holiday cookie decorating party this week? Here is my sugar cookie recipe to get you started:
Ingredients:
- 5 cups all-purpose organic flour
- 2 teaspoons organic baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 1/2 cups organic butter or Earth balance, softened
- 2 white organic sugar
- 4 organic egg or egg substitute
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400°.
2. In a bowl mix together flour, baking soda and baking powder.
3. In a larger bowl, cream the butter and sugar together. Add in one egg at a time and the vanilla. Gradually add the dry ingredients.
4. Cover and chill dough in refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight.
5. Roll out dough on floured surface until 1/2 inch thick. Cut into shapes with cookie cutters. Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
6. Bake 6-8 minutes and cool completely.
How do get into the holiday spirit with your children?
