My Grandma used to always make us sugar cookies on Valentine's Day. She would ding dong ditch them to our house and tie a string to them so when we tried to reach for them she would be hiding behind bushes and pull them away. It was always something I looked forward to. Although, we don't tie the string yet...we have carried on the tradition of making the cookies. 
Here they are! Alexis did most of the decorating. Those are lips and hearts. Can you tell which ones are hers? She color coordinated all her candy hearts! I must admit...they look better than the mix matched ones I did. This is the best sugar cookie recipe EVER...so SOFT! So I thought I'd share...| Sugar Cookies | |||

I LOVE sugar cookies, and we make them for just about every holiday. They are a lot of work with all the mixing, cooking, decorating, and clean-up, but I swear it is worth it. The kids love it. I'm going to try out your recipe. THANKS! And, that is the cutest idea ever with the string! I want to be a crazy/fun grandma like that someday! I remember your grandma used to put cottage cheese in scrambled eggs. I still do it! YUMMY!!!
Thanks for sharing the recipe! My kids want to make cookies for FHE next week and tonight Jakob told me he wants to decorate them with candy and "all the frosting we want." So, that means they want sugar cookies. I'm going to try this recipe!
just read your comment, and yes I know what you mean! I was just saying to Garrett, "another crazy day tomorrow. We have three of the kids friends coming over, and I have three friends coming over for lunch so my sis-in-law can wax their eyebrows. so I have to clean the house tonight and do lunch for everyone tomorrow." He just looked at me and said, "WHY? Why do you do this to yourself?" BUT, I love it. The kids have fun when stuff is going on, so I guess you just hold on and hope you survive, right?
Hey, I wanted to answer your question. Yes, that girl in the blue shirt was on gray's anatomy!
