Scary cookies

My Superman LOVES sugar cookies. Especially cut-outs with butter cream frosting. If you've ever made them before you know they are lots of work, so I only make the once in a while and usually for a holiday.

I know I am a bit late in posting these but I wanted to go ahead and get it up before I started with the Thanksgiving day recipes start.

I was given this recipe from my friend Annette. They are by far the most delicious cookies. The dough is very sticky so keep it cold and use lots of powdered sugar when rolling them out. AND DON'T OVER BAKE THEM.

Annette's Wonderful Cut-Out Cookies

Mix together:

3 1/2 c. all-purpose flour

1t. baking powder

1t. salt

Mix well and set aside

Mix together:

8oz. cream cheese

1c. butter

1egg

Once blended well gradually add

1 1/2c. sugar

1t. vanilla

1/2t. almond extract (I've also used butter flavoring)

Mix flour mixture with cream cheese mixture, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

Roll out 1/2 in thick and use your favorite cookie cutters.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

Once they are cooled frost with your favorite frosting.

Because every cookie goes better with a cup of Joe.

The Wild Women of my life

What happens when 16 women from different states, backgrounds, and generations come together in an amazing house for one long weekend? One Wild Weekend! I think any woman would be excited to have a weekend away. From schedules, requirements, stress, and laundry:) I look forward to this week almost as much as I look forward to date night with my Superman. This annual trip for me came about when my friend Cindy told me I was going with her. This is Cindy and her loving husband Tim: Isn't she just beautiful? Since, this is my blog, and Cindy isn't here to dispute it, here is how I remember the story's beginning. Cindy is my friend and was my girl scout co-leader. We met at an info meeting for scouts and I asked her to help me out with the troop. Because I am a bit of a control freak, I wanted a co-leader to be a fun lady who would have a blast with the girls, and do what I needed done. Which was basically show up and go on fun trips with us. Cindy is a

Master Chef

Have you ever sat in front of your TV, watching a cooking show and thought, I can do that....Well, I do that ALL THE TIME. I yell at cooks on Chopped like others yell at football players on Sundays. I think of course, the chef's can hear me. I cheer for the home cooks on Master Chef the same way. I have watched this show the last 6 seasons and am thoroughly engrossed in season 7 at the moment. The season finale is next week . I CAN'T WAIT! I'm pulling for 5th grade teacher Brandi Mudd to win! She's super cute and comes from a background of cooking for her family and friends in much the same way that I do. My love language is definitely food. I truly am my best me when I'm in the kitchen. Cooking for my family is such a joy, and when I get to cook for friends I love to show off. After telling my Superman and girls that I wanted to be on Master Chef for the last....well all of the seasons, I'm doing it. I filled out my registration online today to go to the o
