. . .and one more (delicious) thing!

For those of you at the reception or our superbowl partay im sure you had these fantabulous cookies....if you were there and didn't.... SHAME on you....although Im pretty sure you wouldn't have passed them up on purpose....

For those that weren't there- trust me.....these are too legit to quit. Thick, soft/giant delicious cookies...... Anyhoo- my fabulous new friend/neighbor/running partner here in Cali was gracious to share the recipe that she made for me. I wish I had a pic of these remarkable cookies bc they are not only delectable, but she made them adorable too....

Anyhoo- I just wanted to share b/c I know many of you have been asking for it and I wanted to share the wealth.

Enjoy and good treats!



Sugar Cookies (Marcae R's recipe)

6 c flour
3/4 tsp salt
2 c salted butter (softened)
2 1/4 c sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
3 large eggs
4 TBSP milk


preheat oven to 375

whisk together flour/salt and set aside

cream together butter and sugar

add eggs, milk, vanilla

add flour mixture slowly and beat on low until combined

Divde dough in half and form into two balls. Flatten into a disk and wrap tightly in plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour

On a floured (or p sugared) surface roll out dough to desired thickness (they will not puff up a ton so if you want them thick- as she made them- roll them out as thick as you want them to be). She used a big flower cookie cutter so they were delightfully giant.

Bake for 10-12 minutes- she usually takes them out early- like 8/9 minutes. Let them set on pan for a min or two if you do.

Cool and frost (delightful receipe to follow) then eat the crud out of them and repeat as necessay until your Heifertitis is fulfilled.

1/4 c butter (softened)

It's been a minute.......

What a whirlwind it always is...this LIFE thing......
How delicious and exciting and exhausting and memorable and trying and beautiful and special is each day, week, month, and year we get to progress here on earth?!

SO....much has changed and I find myself with my adorable HUSBAND and sweet Little here in Cali and I'm loving living this life that is mine.

When I have more time to be creative/whitty/clear headed and not procrastinating doing 50bajillion things I'll do some more posting with more pics to play catchup on all the going ons of the last 2 months.... but I just wanted to share my gratitude for my AMAZING eternal family and the loveable/loyal/ridinkulously adorable friends I have who are always there for me emotionally/physically/spiritually, etc....  I'm a lucky lucky girl for all I've been given/entrusted with and I'm grateful for the people who help shape my life and make things yummier/smoother/less stressful/more beautiful/funnier/ and more exciting. 

Thank you to all of you who know me ( and still love me :) ). Know that you are loved and treasured in return!!
