Decorated Sugar Cookies - article by AIS Market Articles

Traditions are very special in my family. My sisters and I talk about special events that happened as we were growing up and our desires to recreate them for our children. My mother was a person that liked routine and this lead to having many rituals and traditions. Every week end we would have the same meal. Saturday evening we would have steak baked potatoes, garlic toast and a tossed salad. On Sunday’s we would have chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy and glazed carrots. The only thing that would vary was the kind of pie that we would have for dessert.

Now that I am a mom I have started making the decorated sugar cookies for my family. The children love to help frost and so does my husband. It has become a competition to see how can decorate the most elaborate cookie. This means that I have several icing bags with multiple colors of the frosting. My co-workers ask me how I can stand the mess. I told them that I buy the plastic bag icing bags and the cheap plastic icing tips. I also stock up on the plastic table clothes from the dollar store. I cover the work surface with the plastic cloth and when we are done with the decorated sugar cookies I roll up the frosting tubes in the plastic and throw it all away. This leaves the frosting bowl and the cookie sheets to wash up. I hope my children will fondly remember the times that we have spent together frosting the cookies. My sisters and I have talked about all getting together before Christmas to make the decorated sugar cookies. I think that would be a fun event during the holidays that does not include giving gifts.
