My mom makes the best sugar cookies. There is no cookies that is more Christmas to me than cut out sugar cookies.

I realized long ago that the kids enjoy decorating the cookies much more then rolling them. This year I got smart and made the cookies in the afternoon while they finished school. Once they were done the cookies were cooled and ready to decorate. They spent at least two hours painting and decorating their cookies with sprinkles.

There is nothing sweeter than watching little hands make cookies.

My new favorite sprinkles are Fancy Sprinkles. They are gorgeous and really made the cookies beautiful this year. Too bad these won’t last until Christmas Day.
