The tradition continues! We have had fun with our Friday Cookie Days so far. Sometimes we have friends with us. Sometimes it is just our family. Today we did sugar cookies. I found this recipe a few years ago and it has become my favorite sugar cookie recipe because the cookies stay so soft! (I think it is the honey) Yum!
Soft Sugar Cookies
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup honey
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
3 cups flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
BEAT butter, sugar, honey, egg and vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; mix well. Cover. Refrigerate at least 2 hours. (This step can be skipped in a pinch. Also, when you take them out of the fridge, let them warm up for a few minutes to make rolling easier)
PLACE dough on lightly floured surface; roll out to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes with floured cookie cutters.
BAKE at 350°F for 6 to 8 minutes or until cookies are lightly browned.
P.S. If you live at 6,000 feet, like me, you might want to add up to 1/4 cup extra flour, too!

this must have been another one of those traditions that died once i came around...i don't remember cookie fridays? I DO remember Kami was the ultimate cookie maker in our house when we were older and they tasted just like grandmas!j
What fun-I am thrilled to steal your recipe and you tradition, We had to make apple pie yesterday because they had recently done it at school and we simply couldn't make it through the weekend without it.
I will definitely have to steal this--my kids would be so excited! Awesome recipe. Can't wait to try it.
What a cute tradition! I also love your scrap book page . . . can I send you my pictures to work on?
I love that you remembered! I think that Jaci didn't miss out on the cookie Fridays, we just didn't carry them on long enough for her to be old enough to remember!
