And it begins…

Tonight is our first team Christmas party of the season.  We’re hosting a dinner party for the students who work in our Foreign Teacher’s Library. Of course, no Christmas party is complete without Christmas cookies, so I’ve been elbow deep in flour today making up a batch of our family’s sugar cookies.  I realize there are hundreds, if not thousands, of excellent sugar cookie recipes out there.  However, I’m entirely biased to the cookie I grew up on.  Our family’s recipe is for a delightfully thin and crispy cookie with a hint of almond flavor.  It just so happens to also be my favorite raw cookie dough to eat.  I distinctly remember as a child trying to sneak bits of dough when my dad would be distracted putting pans in and out of the oven.  Something tells me he knew exactly what I was doing.  If you’re looking for a new sugar cookie recipe to try out, the recipe is up now.  Enjoy!
