ohhh, I could have used this yesterday, lol. I look forward to trying this out soon. Every other month I have a family or two over from Co-Op to make decorate sugar cookies, Yesterday we did Valentine's and it was neat to see the older girls make the dough so that the mom's could relax and have some great conversation and all the boys were outside enjoying the warmth!!! Ahhh if everyday could be like that, lol!!!!
Thanks for this recipe! My favorite sugar cookie recipe uses sour cream, so my dairy allergic son cannot have them. I made these cookies this morning using dairy free, soy free margerine and rice milk. They were great! I also made your bananaberry muffins today (made those dairy-free also.) Yummy!
