Of all the cookies I bake at Christmas, the best are these frosted sugar cookies. We have a tradition for decorating them - the snowflakes get white frosting with white edible glitter, the stars are yellow with yellow sugar, the trees are green with multicolored balls on them and the bells are blue with a silver dragee that B carefully attaches to each one. We also do stockings (red frosting with white sprinkles at the top), but E was feeling a bit under the weather so those will have to wait for tomorrow.
This year I baked seven varieties of cookies - the frosted sugar cookies just like Mom used to bake; cranberry drops; chocolate chips with red and green M&Ms; Rolo cookies; toffee cookies; sugar cookies that taste like the ones Grandma used to make; and E's favorite Italian ball cookies. We'll be passing them out to neighbors and teachers for the holidays (and saving a few for us to munch on - and don't forget some for Santa!)
