{Simple Recipe: Sugar Cookies}

You've just come in from a long day and the only thing you can think about is unwinding.  Your nine-year old comes in and says "don't forget we have to take cookies to school tomorrow!" 


OH NO!!  HOW DID I FORGET???


You can't just pick up a pack of Chips Ahoy...even the soft batch will make you the laughing stock of the PTA.  You have a choice.  You can run out to the closest grocery store for a few packs of slice and bakes, or you can whip up some of these easy sugar cookies using items right in your home.

Whew!  Crisis averted.  Now back to regularly scheduled unwinding...
