I’ve been asked for my Sugar Cookie and Royal Icing Recipe a lot lately, so I thought I’d do another blog post about it.

The possibilities are endless!

Here is the recipe:

1 cup butter – room temp
1 1/2 cup sugar
3 eggs
3 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

cream together and then add
4 1/2 cups flour

Put in a ziplock bag (make sure all the air is out of the bag) and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Flour your surface and roll into 1/4 inch thick.  Use Cookie Cutters to cut out shapes

Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes

Cool Cookies completely before icing.

Here is my icing recipe:

2 lbs (1 full bag) Powdered (Confectioner’s Sugar)
1/3 cup + 1 Tbs Meringue Powder
3/4 cup warm water
1 1/2 – 2 Tbs Vanilla

Here is a quick, easy and healthy recipe!

1 package Devils Food Cake Mix

1 can pumpkin

Mix together and add 1 cup chocolate chips

Put in Mini Muffin Wrappers and Bake at 350 for 10-12 min

Healthy and Delicious!

My sister had a Scentsy Party this past weekend and put me in charge of food…I had her decide on the menu and then I went to the store and bought it all.  Her and my Mom helped put it all together –

We had grapes, strawberries, pineapple, apples, fruit dip, french onion dip, chips, chocolate cake balls, strawberry cake balls and wedding punch!  You can order as a part of her party online!  Head over to scents2me.com and order under the Girls2Scents Party!

Adam’s boss’ wife had her baby last night so I whipped up a batch of sugar cookies to welcome Baby Brianna. What do you think?
