This day we made cookies from the Martha Stewart Cookies book. We decided on sugar cookies...
Natalie overseeing the mixer as the butter and sugar cream together. Natalie likes to kneel on a "tool" (stool) to make the cookies.
Nattie is brushing the cookies with some water which gives the cookies a lovely crackles top.
A girl just needs to take a break and sample her baked goods...

Cookies going into the oven.
Cookies just out of the oven.
Nattie peeking over the counter at the pile of sugar cookies...
We packaged the cookies in cellophane bags and tied them with ribbon.
Nattie holding the MS cookbook and showing everyone the recipe we used to make the sugar cookies...I like to make a note in the cookbook on the recipe page with the date we made the cookies together...I also take a photo and cover it in plastic and add it to the page in the cookbook...
I hope to one day wrap this cookbook in a flourish of paper and bows and tuck it in a box filled with kitchen tools and supplies for cookie making and give it to Natalie at her wedding shower...a great cookbook filled wonderful recipes but better yet with memories of Aunt Beth and Natalie making the recipes together...
