Making cut out cookies can be a real pain but for some reason I’m a glutton for punishment. While I hate the tedious work that can be involved in rolling out, cutting and decorating cookies, I usually am in love with the final result enough that it was worth the time spent.
Making cutout cookies bring back many memories of baking with Nanny. When my first husband and I were separated I would have the boys with me every two weeks. I lived just around the corner from Nanny and pretty much every night we would get together after work.
Nanny would come to my house or I would go to hers. On weekends we would work on making stuffed teddy bears for a special charity that I donated them to, or we would make cookies in preparation for that particular event. The cookies were always my cut out sugar cookie recipe that we would decorate together.
I made cookies with Nanny all my life. We would make them in her kitchen when I was a little girl, and I would watch as she would put together the dough, and then I would help her cut them out. We always had some with and some without frosting on top. However, most of us would choose the iced cookies when we had a choice!
So, while decorating can be time consuming, I always think of Nanny when I am decorating. I think the end result and the reflection are worth it. Don’t you?
