Frosted Cut Out Sugar Cookies - A Vintage Recipe

My Aunt Phyllis has been making these cookies for years. She makes them at Christmas time and they're everybody's favorite. I decorated these for fall, but I'll be making them again soon for Christmas. The recipe is really easy too. Trust me, you'll want to pin it, print it, save it, or something. These cookies are that good.

Pinterest Wins/Losses #1 Pumpkin Scone Cookies AKA Pumpkin Snickerdoodles

Snickerdoodles are easily in my top 5 favorite cookies and I love pumpkin everything. You can imagine how excited I was to pin this!
The pin led me to a recipe at this blog which gave credit to a couple other sites as well. So this recipe has been around. I couldn't wait to give it a shot.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Mission

I bake almost everything from scratch. I love finding new recipes and trying them out, changing them to suit my taste. Something about it is cathartic for me. It's kitchen meditation. The way you have to pay attention to what you're doing and get your measurements just right. It allows me to clear my head in a way that's only second to gardening.

Lately, I've been baking chocolate chip cookies. LOTS of chocolate chip cookies. I tried recipes that were labeled "the best" and blended them together, tweaked them in my own little kitchen science experiments and below is the recipe for, by far, THE BEST chocolate chip cookie I've ever made. And like I said, I made A LOT.

Magic ingredient! Hint: It's not Crisco
