Taste of Tuesday: Holiday Cookies!

Every year we divulge in making our traditional holiday cookies! This year was no exception. I decided
to make a little extra and bring in some cute holiday cookies for my team at work. I made chocolate
chip and sugar (to avoid any allergies) and here is the receipe for the sugar cookies! They are SOOO
easy to make and they are just melt in your mouth good!!
 
Ingredients: 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
                    1 teaspoon baking soda
                    1 stick butter, softened
                    1 1/2 cups of white sugar
                    2 egg yolks
                    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
 
Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix sugar, baking soda, vanilla and butter in a bowl. Slowly
add each egg at a time. Then slowly add in the flour while mixing. Once it has a dough consistancy,
take out of bowl and roll out into 1/4in thick sheet. Select cookie cutter preference or roll into 1/2 balls.
 Bake for about 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool approx. 5-10 minutes. Ice and sprinkle
as desired!
 
 
 
That's all folks! I was so tried by the end of this from cooking after a long day of work so I just shoved the cookies in cute little holiday bags I picked up at Walmart and delivered them to everyone's desk! Perfect holiday treat!
