I mentioned making cookies for after Saturday’s worship service, but not how everything went wrong. The upshot is that the sugar cookie dough was good, but one batch of icing went wrong. Also, I goofed up my chocolate chip dough by not paying attention to the measuring cups. Did you know that 4 scoops of flour is 3 cups (not 2 cups) if you use a 3/4 cup scoop, thinking it is a 1/2 cup scoop? Who makes 3/4 cup scoops? *sigh* Massive fail.
The point of this post, though, is that I resolve from here on out to only make sugar cookies in diamond, square or rectangular form. No waste, no mess. Just cut, lay on pan, then bake. Surely those are festive shapes. Haven’t you ever heard the Legend of the Christmas Square? The Easter Diamond? Valentine Rectangle? Don’t worry – they’ll catch on.
