Grandma’s Sugar Cookies

Grandma’s Sugar Cookies-a Christmas Tradition.

Grandma’s Sugar Cookies-a Christmas Tradition.

This recipe is a special one. It’s just a simple sugar cookie, made with lots of love. What makes it special is it come’s from a book Grandma’s Christmas Cookies: A Cookie Cutter Storybook. It’s a sweet book reminding us the true reason for the season.

Grandma's Sugar Cookies-a Christmas Tradition.

We’ve had our copy for 11 years now. It was given to my son in 4K by his teacher. Best gift ever from a teacher. My son was reading already. That first year we sat together, he read me the story and then we made cookies together. Every time I see this cookbook, tucked away in the back, up above the stove, I’m reminded of that first time. Of a sweet little boy (who’s now bigger than me) sitting on the sofa, in front of the Christmas tree, reading the story to me.

 We don’t make these every year. We should. The cookies are easy to make, of course any cookie made with kids will have lots of sprinkles and I know Santa loves finding them under the tree each time.

Now I’m the Grandma and I can’t wait to read it this year and make these cookies with my grandbabies.

  2. Loved every cookie my grandma ever made and I hope my grandchildren have the same memories of my baking! Now about that book….Want it, love the cover picture;-) Thanks for sharing the sugar cookie recipe, a good sugar cookie recipe is a must have for any baker!

  10. A simple sugar cookie with a cup of tea can be delicious. But the fact that it has a history makes it all the more special. After all, a lot of our food likes begin with childhood memories. 🙂

  11. Sugar cookies are the best and can really be addicting too. These look like a yummy recipe. My son keeps asking when we are going to make some sugar cookies to decorate..it’s on the list for sure.

  14. These cookies came out so delicious! I am so pleased with the texture! I hate cookies that are all crunch. These have a nice crunch onside and a soft cookie inside. It’s great! Definitely keeping this in my book of recipes!

    • These cookies freeze well but if you are frosting them, I’d freeze them plain and then frost them when you are ready to eat them. Not all frostings freeze well.

  17. These look great! I can’t to try them with my girls. I found the book on Amazon for only $0.76! It’s used, but cheap! I’m waiting for it to come in the mail :0)
