Cookies!!

We made some sugar cookies today, using our cookie press

and they are yummy!

Who knew homemade cookies were so much better than store bought?

The recipe said that it made 40 cookies - they lied, we only got 39,

but there are 7 less than that already!

That's how we know they're yummy!

HOMER - YOU BETTER HURRY HOME IF YOU HOPE TO GET ANY!!!

Here's the recipe----

By Peggy Trowbridge Filippone

Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter, softened but not melted
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 egg yolk
1/2 tsp vanilla
1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
Food coloring, optional
Sugar sprinkles or other decoration, optional

Preparation:Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl, cream butter, sugar, and baking powder until combined. Add egg yolk & vanilla, beating to combine. Gradually beat in flour until the mixture is too thick for the mixer.* Finish mixing in the flour with a wooden spoon, if need be, adding any optional food coloring. Press dough through a cookie press on to an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake cookies 7 to 8 minutes. Cool before icing or decorating. For best results, do not chill the cookie dough. When pressing shaped cookies, hold the cookie press vertical to the cookie sheet. Yield: 40 cookies

*Just a note... in case you try this recipe, the mixer didn't work for me at all -- I used a wooden spoon to mix from start to finish. :-)
