At special times of the year do you bring out the Colored Sugars, a Rolling Pin and many cookie cutters? While glancing through pages in magazines or while watching food shows on t.v. you may get the urge to roll out, decorate and bake cookies.
For about three decades I have been making Sour Cream Sugar Cookies. Goodness, it has been that long! (Click here for printable recipe card.) These cookies are made in two steps. The result is an absolutely delicious, soft, cutout cookie with a hint of Nutmeg.
The dough for these Sugar Cookies is prepared on Day 1. After making the dough wrap it in plastic wrap and then in foil. Place the wrapped dough in the fridge. The next day – Day 2 - the dough is rolled out. Using your Rolling Pin and favorite cookie cutters a batch of delicious homemade holiday cookies will be ready!
After you bake these yummy Nutmeg flavored cookies, they can be cooled and placed in your freezer. When the holiday arrives defrost them. Your family and friends will enjoy eating these scrumptious treats. With Christmas just around the corner, I need to get busy and bake a batch this week! After we eat a few, most of them will be located in my freezer until Christmas arrives.
Do you bake special cookies for the holidays? What cookies do you traditionally bake?
Sour Cream Sugar Cookies are my family’s favorite Sugar Cookie. It is difficult to eat just one!
Enjoy!
Yummy!
Over the years my husband and my two sons have always given me honest input regarding any food that I have prepared. A very long time ago, it is now decades, Cranorange Coffee Cake (click on link for recipe card) became our favorite dessert after our Christmas dinner. I had acquired two recipes for this moisty, flavorful, colorful cake. One recipe used Cran/Orange Relish and the other recipe used Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce.
I have learned that the best time to purchase the Cran/Orange Relish is during the month of November. Grocery stores do not stock a large inventory. However, if this particular item is not located, there is always Plan B. Use the Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce with an addition of 2 tsp. of Orange Extract stirred in before using.
Currently, the cake that we will enjoy on Christmas Day is baking in my oven. After cooling, it will be wrapped in heavy-duty foil and placed in the freezer. This scrumptious cake is moister if it has been frozen and defrosted before serving. After defrosting tomorrow night, the almond flavored icing will be drizzled on top.
A slice of Cranorange Coffee Cake will be enjoyed with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. This is also a delicious cake to serve to your guests on New Year’s Day!
Yummy!Enjoy the holidays!
The bottom of my family’s cookie container is reached quickly whenever our container is filled with Snickerdoodles. (Click on link for recipe.) This yummy cookie with a cinnamon topping is mouth-watering! One batch yields about 3 dozen scrumptious treats. Snickerdoodles are a great dessert to place on a Christmas/Holiday buffet dessert table.
Bake these cookies a day or two before you plan to share them, because they do not freeze well. Consider baking an extra batch for your family to enjoy! Otherwise, place the baked cookies in a spot where family members will not find them easily. Once they are located the cookies will be devoured and enjoyed!
Snickerdoodles can also be a gift from your kitchen mailed (click on links for hints) to a family member/friend that lives a distance from you. These homemade treats are easy to make and taste absolutely delicious!
Enjoy!
