Sugar Cookie Day

Sugar Cookie Day is about unleashing your inner child and celebrating the simple sugary-goodness of this traditional treat. In the 1700s, a group of German settlers arrived in Pennsylvania, and by combining sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla and baking soda they created a simple yet delicious food, now known as the Sugar Cookie. Of course, the original recipe never fails to please, but these days it’s easy to give it a modern twist – creating new designs, adding sprinkles, tossing in chocolate chips and glazing the top with creamy frosting! Jazz it up any way you like!

If you have kids, sugar cookies provide great entertainment; just give them the dough, cookie cutters, an assortment of toppings and let their imaginations run wild! 

Perhaps you prefer the sunflower design...

 Have a sun-shiny day! Don't forget your sweet tooth!

A bit of music nostalgia to enjoy while snacking on the sugar cookies...
