With unusually warm weather this winter, we tried to bring a bit of wishful thinking into the office in the form of sugar cookies. Although the sentiment isn’t always shared, I can’t help but crave a pleasant snowy evening outside the window on North 2nd Street. So far, we’ve been met with 70 degree December days or blistery cold January nights – not what I would call a magical winter.
These sugar cookies are a classic recipe, taken out of the oven pleasantly early so that they retain a nice chewy bite. I came up with the vanilla icing recipe when I was a kid and haven’t stopped using it since. The funny part is, I never actually measure out the ingredients so I can’t quite share the recipe if anyone were to ask. It just sort of happens when I’m making it.
What’s the weather like where you are? If it’s anything like the streets of Old City Philadelphia are right now, I wish you warm thoughts and nights filled with blankets, hot chocolate, and a classic Disney movie.
