The Perfect No-Fridge Sugar Cookies

So I decided I need to blog again. I just turned 27 and I am not sure how I feel about it. I have never really cared about getting old or having birthdays. I have always looked so young that it has actually been annoying and frustrating that I am 27 and people just stare and gawk at me at the grocery store with a bunch of littles hanging on me. but now I am in my "late 20s" and I don't think I get the credit for all the experience I have had because people assume I am 16.
On my birthday I realized that I did everything that I ever wanted to do and I have accomplished a lot.
I have always considered myself a glass half full kind of person but I realized that I wasn't as much as I thought. I am going to be the person I want to be and that is being more positive and counting the blessings that I have instead of dwelling on the things that are always going wrong.
I am going to try actually blogging because I think it would make me happy to share with you all some of the things that I have learned, believe in, have discovered, DIY stuff I try. No particular theme or purpose at all. I also just got my first iphone and I have iphone syndrome where I think I am a photographer.
So I was so happy that it snowed finally here in utah and it sparked me with delight. and we made sugar cookies with every kind of cookie cutter we had. every holiday so we can celebrate everything and we put on lego movie to cuddle.

One reason why I want to quickly blog tonight is because I was too lazy to look up my many pins on pinterest for sugar cookie recipes so I decided to whip out my own and see how it worked out.

This is how it went and they turned out PERFECT no fridge required


2 sticks Sprouts brand organic unsalted butter (soft)
1 cup raw sugar
2 1/2 cup white UNbleached flour (sprouts has sales for 69 cents a lb)
1 tsp vanilla (I make my own with alcohol and raw vanilla beans)
1 tsp baking soda
2 eggs


IMPORTANT:  blend sugar and butter first and mix well. add the eggs and vanilla and mix until smooth.

in another bowl add 1 1/2 cup flour and the baking soda and stir. add the mixture to the wet mixture.
when mixed slowly add another 1 cup of flour to the mix until it is a fluffy soft mixture.

use flour on the counter to help the dough not be sticky to cut out your shapes and use spatula to place on cookie sheet.

bake at 350 degrees for about 10-12 minutes.

(other recipes bake at 8-10 at 400 but I think it makes them softer if they cook slower)

here are a few pics with my phone


I hope you try them!


Happy February 21st
