This week has been round two of Nana Camp 2010. Perfect Boy has been here along with a full schedule of activities. One of those includes today’s cookie making session which he shares with you.
Checking to be sure they are placed just right.
He takes his decorating seriously.
The best part is in the eating, of course. Yum!
Joann’s Sugar Cookies
3/4 cup shortening or 1/2 cup margarine and 1/4 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 Tablespoon vanilla
Mix until creamy.
Add:
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
Chill at least one hour. Roll out and cut into desired shapes. Bake 6-8 minutes at 375 degrees. Cool. Decorate until little hearts are content. (Today’s batch got a little brown…we were busy!)
I used this recipe from my friend Joann with Perfect Boy’s momma. It always brings back warm, tender memories. I like to think that he will treasure these times as much as I do.
Thanks for joining me for this week’s edition of What’s On the Menu Wednesday. I look forward to what you have to say.
I don’t have a clue what happened to last week’s Mister Linky. Perfect Boy would say, “To infinity and beyond!” Perhaps he’s right.
Debbie, you’ll never forget making those cookies and eating them too. They’re better than any other kind… This week’s post is a lighter summer meal, Green Bean Salad w/ Feta that’s 5* and Gluten Free! Thanks for hosting!!
Cute pictures! You are an excellent camp coordinator!
I’ll bet the kids had a blast! My kids love to decorate!
Adorable.
Very cute – I still love decorating sugar cookies 🙂
