I saved the best for last! Sugar Cookies are my absolute favorite cookies to make during Christmas. I think I enjoy them so much because, in addition to them tasting so yummy, the kids love helping me make them. It's always fun to see how they choose to decorate their cookies.

For years, I used to buy the pre-made dough just to make things go faster. I also mixed up a simple milk, powdered sugar and vanilla frosting. It never tasted that great, but it was simple to make, so it worked.
Now, that doesn't work for me. In order to get the buttery taste in the cookies, the dough just has to be from scratch. And the frosting needs some butter, too, along with a bit of almond extract. Try out these two great recipes and see what you think!
That's it for The Twelve Days of Christmas Baking for 2011. I hope you were able to find a few new recipes to try out. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
