Drop Biscuits
The aroma of warm sugar cookie wafts through the house filling my nostrils. Soon be ready to take the oven for my husband. I like the pleasure of baking sugar cookies for him. I have a recipe that expensive does not have a problem with, is a “drop sugar cookie” recipe. Therefore, there’s no chilling or rolling or cookie cutting required. I added a little twist of my own over the years the recipe that makes me the better, and have been told again and again my cookies are great. My twist? Well, check it and then see what he observed with vanilla and then you’ll know. This makes the most delicious sugar cookies and light to the palate. Do not bake for the whole year, just when the weather is a chill in the air. Therefore, in the warmer months my husband has to do with the bakery shop.
