Cut Out Sugar Cookies



Cut out Sugar Cookies

We got this recipe from a family friends years ago and its been my go too. 
I'm sure there are other delicious sugar cookie recipes ('ve certainly pinned enough😉)  but I love how simple and yummy this one is so I go back to it every time.

A few photos of the way I've decorated them over the years...Sugar cookies are one of my favorite things to make! I'd love to try the royal icing someday but I LOVE the frosting recipe for these...As I was looking for photos for this post I got the urge to make some halloween ones, the butters thawing now😂.















 Mix all of your wet ingredients.
Then mix in your dry (I forgot a photo😦 but you get the point!) 
It should look like this once its all mixed.

I did a double batch so I seperated into 4 balls before I put it in the fridge, that makes it so much easier to get it out of the bowl and keeps the others from getting to warm or dried out (Stick the container back in the fridge with the dough you're not using)



Get your dough all rolled out on a floured surface.


Get them baked, let them cool, and frost!


Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp Vanila
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cream of tarter

Directions
  1. Mix powdered sugar, butter, egg, and vanilla
  2. Stir in flour, baking soda, cream of tarter
  3. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours 
  4. Heat oven to 375
  5. Divine dough in 1/2
  6. Roll 3/16 inch thick on a floured surface
  7. Into into shapes
  8. Place on lightly greased cookie sheet or pizza stone
  9. Bake 7-8 minutes

Frosting ingredients
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanila
  • 2 TBS milk
Directions
  1. Mix all ingredients together
Note:
Sometimes I use icing bags and am very detail oriented, other times I just use a frosting spreader and get it on quickly, or you can just put sprinkles on them with no frosting, any way you do it they're still delicious!
Usually the way I will make these is mix up the dough one day, put them in the fridge overnight and bake the next day, then once they're cooled put them in a container in the freezer and pull them out the day before or morning that you're ready to decorate them. Sometimes its a few days they're in the freezer, sometimes a couple weeks it works really well and they come out perfect. Then it breaks up all the work😂.

Instant Pot Hamburger Helper

Instant Pot Hamburger Helper To get started you're going to turn your instant pot to the sauce feature. When it shows "Hot" on the display you're ready to add your olive oil and hamburger. Throw in all of your seasonings and brown the hamburger. Once its browned, add the noodles and more seasonings. Then add the two cans of beef broth and try to push all the ingredients down so there's not too much sitting on the surface. Then set the instant pot to cook for 8 minutes and do a quick release. Add in your milk, cheese, and party dip or sour cream if you have it. Turn it back onto sauté and stir everything together until it's melted. And serve! I don't know about you guys...but in our opinion you can't have hamburger helper without some bread and butter to go along with it😉. Ingredients: 1lb hamburger 8 oz elbow noodles 2 14 oz cans beef broth  1/2 - 1 cup milk  8 oz shredded ch...
