Sugar Cookie Love

How to Make the Best Sugar Cookies Evah:

 Make them when the kids go to bed.

Because then, you get to decorate them while listening to 

The Carpenter's Christmas Album, circa 1972 

by yourself.

And if your dough is too slimy and makes mushy stars at first, 

noone cries while you add more flour to the mix, 

because it's taking too long.

And you have time to "pose" your cookie cutters for pictures.

And noone's eating the dough.

You get to hog the cookie cutters.

And even make the Peanut Butter Blossoms while 

the sugar cookie dough is in the fridge.

N' ya don't gotta yell at anyone for eating the chocolate kisses 

before the peanut butter cookies are finished baking.

Then you getta drink a big ole glass of milk in the sweet smelling kitchen totally silent.

And the yahoos wake up thinking 

You.

Are.

The.

Best.

Mom.

in the World.
