Homemade Sugar Cookies and Icing For Santa!

I have shared this recipe before but I decided to share it again because this time we did Christmas cookies and they came out so cute! My kids have such a blast making these cookies and making a huge mess but its so worth it!

This Christmas I’m not sure if it’s because the world is upside or what but I’m feeling the same. I feel like we haven’t done enough, even though we’ve looked at Christmas lights with hot cocoa a million times, we’ve went to drive through light shows, we’ve been to the glitters, we’ve made donuts and cookies and charcuterie boards, we’ve made DIY advent calendars, we’ve gotten Christmas pajamas and watched movies but I somehow still feel like it hasn’t been magical enough.

Then my kids tell me how much they love me and how fun it’s been this year. I feel a little more okay. I know next year we’re going to live a little more simple and stop trying to keep up with everything. We’ve done tons this year and it’s been truly magical. I can’t wait to watch those sweet little faces light up on Christmas morning. My grandparents are even here for an entire month and it brings me so much joy that my kids get to somewhat experience what I did as a kid.

Ok onto the recipe, this is hands down one of my favorites. These delicious and soft cookies are another favorite dessert. It’s not just for Christmas. You can make these anytime of the year and they taste the same (lol) Maybe they do taste a little more magical around Christmas.

Then we have the easy and delicious icing! I added a little vanilla to it and it makes the perfect frosting! I mostly just eyeball it and get it to the consistency I like! Make any color you want using food coloring!
