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😂.

Homemade Taco Seasoning

The other day I whipped up another batch of homemade taco seasoning that I’ve been making for years so I thought I would share it with you. It’s super easy, last a long time, and doesn’t have any of the icky preservatives, etc. Here’s the ingredients, 1/2 cup chili powder 3 Tablespoons cumin 1 Tablespoon salt 1 Tablespoon finely ground pepper 1 Tablespoon paprika 2 teaspoons garlic powder 2 teaspoons onion powder 2 teaspoons dried oregano Mix it all together and you’re good to go! To use, brown 1lb. hamburger,  then add 2 Tablespoons of the taco seasoning mix plus 1/3 cup water and simmer until liquid has thickened, about 1-2 minutes. I hope you enjoy!

Instant Pot Spaghetti

Instant Pot Spaghetti  Start by turning your instant pot to the sauté function, adding some olive oil and then once the screen says HOT add your hamburger and brown.  All of the spices I used. Once the hamburger is browned Turn the instant pot off. Once I turned the instant pot off I added the noodles, crisscrossing the noodles so they don't clump. Next I added the spaghetti sauce, water, and spices.  Then set the instant pot to manual for 10 minutes and did natural release. And finished product!  I turned the instant pot off, put the lid back on and let it cool a little once I mixed everything together. I used this for freezer meals. I was able to get 7 1 1/2 cup servings. I let these cool and then put them in the fridge and waited to put them in the freezer until the next day so it was completely cooled. Ingredients: Olive Oil 1 lb hamburger 2 jars pasta sauce 1 16oz box angel hair noodles 1 cup + 1 jar of Wa
