Sugar Sugar
Sugar cookiesss :)
What do I do when I am bored/need to waste time/have nothing better to do? Bake cookies, of course!
Which is what I did today. It took a while to figure out what to make, but after I realized I didn't have any chocolate chips or oats, and it was recommended that I make sugar cookies, that is exactly what I did :). It actually works out perfectly because now I am bringing these cookies for a girls week at...
Wintergreenn!! Also known as w-grain, winnah grain, and now WG.
I love these cookies. Every time I make them I literally get the cold shoulder if I don't leave any extra in the house.... but this recipe makes 10298 cookies, so there is always plenty extra. Okay, not 10298 cookies but seriously like 5 dozen.
And here it is :)
