And a sugar cookie snob you should be....they are the BEST!
Thanks for helping me in not having to dig that recipe up. I was gonna go easy with cupcakes, but with your pictures I think I'll go all out.
I'll have to try those, but my husband is allergic to nuts, so either I'd have to find a subsitute or he just can't have any!!!! That sounds good too! ;)
thanks I will do this with the kiddos on Friday. And your recipe is different then Wilton's and I am just not gonna trust them anymore. They were like dont refrigerate and dont grease your cookie sheet! I had seen yours and now I hope I can have some as yummy looking as these! i will get them up on my blog if i do!!
