Two year old hands are just the best! All squishy and sweet and eager so just about any cookie shape will do, truly there was no need to be overly particular for this little guy to enjoy his cookie. |
When Life Gives You Humidity Skip The Rolling and Make Drop Sugar Cookies.
I am blessed with a large family so naturally I have a arsenal of recipe books and so many recipes memorized in this noggin of mine.
A few years ago I made another batch of sugar cookies from an older recipe.
They were amazing in flavor, texture and super easy to decorate too, down side is they have to be refrigerated.
This time with the humidity being so high and this dough so tender it was definitely not cookie rolling weather. So you know the old saying when life gives you lemons you make lemonade! In this case when life gives you humidity skip the rolling and make drop cookies!
This little smiling sweetheart certainly doesn't need a sugar cookie to make here any more sweeter😊.

I discovered this recipe on Instagram from a gal named Stephanie. I think you'd like to hop on over to right here to see her detail tips on decorating sugar cookies too! Stephanie really knows how to decorate her cookies. You'll get so much inspiration...think 4th of July!
I am a vanilla nut so I tweaked this recipe to increase the vanilla.
Be sure to invest in quality vanilla it really makes ALL the difference in flavor.

ReplyDeleteJEMMA!!!!!!!! That was such a pleasant read and those grands of yours are SO DARN CUTE! I agree about a two-year old's hands. Squishy and in many cases, stronger than you think! This little guy's hands are cookie-ready! Oh what a delight to see them both and your recipe sounds perfect for a cold holiday celebration. So good to see you back my friend!
ReplyDeleteThey look tasty and such a sweet family, I enjoy reading about your family adventures. I'm sitting here thinking to myself... I look forward to the day when I can be at home. Hugs,

ReplyDeleteWhat cute little munchkins your grands are! They look like you, too. :o) Thanks for the recipe, I'm looking forward to trying it.
ReplyDeleteThese cookies look yummy & the kids are adorable!! What a winning combo!
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing like a good 'ole sugar cookie and a glass of milk or even a hot cup of coffee. It's actually my favorite cookie at Christmastime. Your sugar cookies look
ReplyDeleteYummy, Jemma, and your grandkids sure do seem to like them. I see a resemblance between you and that sweet grandgirl of yours. It's wonderful that you got to spend so much time with them recently. I can't wait to see my family next month. Nel is taking a camping road trip for her 40th, and they will end up north and stop here. Thanks for sharing your cookie recipe, Jemma, and I think baked good taste even better with vanilla. ; )
Wishing you happy July days next month. : )

I would love a sugar cookie about now. You keep up your figure well with all the baking you do.
ReplyDeleteI did not realize you had 18 grands!
I am amazed with your garden after moving so soon. I would still be unpacking.
It has been raining so much here.
Have a great 4th of July.
