Mom’s Sugar Cookies

sugar cookie recipe

My mom knew how to bake. You name it, she could bake it. Her pies were my favorite. Or maybe her prune twists. Or maybe her caramel corn. Or her cinnamon rolls. They were all amazing.

I am blessed to have in my possession Mom’s recipe boxes filled with her and my grandmother’s recipes. (Thank you again brothers Marty, Steve and Pat for allowing me to have them!)

Each Christmas season, Mom would make her cut-out sugar cookies. I loved them. We all loved them. I remember Dad dunking them in his coffee. They didn’t last too long around my childhood home with six of us enjoying them so much.

Maybe it’s because I grew up with her cookies, or maybe because they bring back many wonderful memories of Mom and Christmastime as a kid, I don’t know. But her recipe is the only one I use for cut-out sugar cookies. Sure, there are a million other recipes out there, and you probably have your favorite too. There’s nothing super special about this one, except that it’s my mom’s. That’s makes it extra-special for me.

Last week I baked a batch of Valentine cookies. It’s no different in our home… we only have a handful left. (Smile.) I might need to bake more this week.

I bake the cookies for 9 minutes in my oven and take them out before edges start to brown. We like softer sugar cookies. I use Betty Crocker’s Rich & Creamy Vanilla frosting, and add food coloring to change the color.

Enjoy!

Do we truly believe God will answer our prayers? 

Adding this one sentence in my prayers has impacted them. It reminds me of Who I am praying to and just how much I believe He can and will answer accordingtohis will. It's prompted me to pray bolder prayers.

Give it a try today and see for yourself.

Feeling anxious today?

Today, we will come across people who are feeling unseen, unheard, not valued, uninvited, not welcomed, unimportant, not cherished, and unloved.

May you and I be the ones to help them feel the opposite: seen, heard, valued, invited, welcomed, important, cherished, and loved.

Let's make a difference in the life of at least one person today and remind them of his/her God-given worth.

What we allow ourselves to think matters. 

It matters more than we realize because what we think about, we end up living out. 

We have a choice to believe the lies from the enemy of our souls or truth from God. Listen to episode 188 of the Encouragement for Real Life Podcast, where I share two ways to decipher the difference. 

Life is too important to waste it believing lies.

What we believe matters. Are we believing lies or truth?

Find out how to discern the difference in episode 188 of the Encouragement for Real Life Podcast that dropped earlier today. 

Stay encouraged!
