The Perfect Sugar Cookie
Many of our friends work themselves up into a lather with their holiday cookie baking. Days and nights toiling away in a Martha Stewart like frenzy to make the damn holiday bright. Even the Mistress of Procurement claims to make "the best damn chocolate chip cookies on the planet!"
I wouldn't know, despite having shared the last 4 years of our lives together, I have never had one of "the best damn chocolate chip cookies on the planet!"
What up with that?
And Jesse sends the crack cookies every year. Crack cookies you ask? Oh, silly bear!!
Every year Jesse sends up a tin of the wonderful delights. Unfortunately the sugar content is off the Richter Scale. First the sugar buzz, then the big crash. Last year, I ate one of these morsels after skipping lunch. Liza came in to find me bouncing off the walls and photocopying the contents of our office. . .
No more crack cookies!!So, we asked our friend Chef Tom of BearlyEdible to whip up a little something for us.
Here’s what he told us –
It just would not be Christmas without the cut-out, iced sugar cookies. They are everywhere this time of year. Coworkers bring in trays to share. They are at reception desks and checkout counters. I’ll most likely receive gift boxes of holiday goodies where decorated Santa’s, Christmas trees and snowmen are the centerpiece of the cookies.
And of course – the recipe.
