Very packed day yesterday so I missed a post so here are two cool things!

The Piano Guys are great! They sometimes take popular songs and add classical to get more kids into the finer music crowd.

Also is my family's favorite sugar cookie recipe by Betty Crocker and tweeked by us!

1 cup sugar

1 cup maragrine or butter, softened not melted!

1 1/2 teaspoons (tsp) vanilla

2 eggs

3 cups all-purpose flour

2 eggs

1/2 teaspoon (tsp) salt    (was orignaially 1 teaspoon)

1/2 teaspoon (tsp) baking SODA

MIX sugar, margarine, vanilla and eggs. MIX in remaining ingredients.

HEAT oven to 400 degrees F.

Cover a circle of clean countertop with white flour and flatten out with a rolling pin. Cover the rolling pin in flour to prevent dough sticking to the pin. Roll out the dough untill they are about 1/8 inch slices. Not sure what that means? Well, make sure the dough is not too Harry Potter book thick or too paper thin.

Find some cookie cutters and start cutting.

Be careful because dough can tare, but use hand or spatula to move cut dough to an UNGREASED BAKING SHEET. Don't put them too close together, about 1 inch apart say Betty.

BAKE until set, 8 to 10 minutes. That means 9 minutes. Immediately yet carefully remove from cookie sheet.

Decorate the cookies with your favorite frostings and sprinkles! And

Enjoy!
