Sugar Cookies

The September 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Mandy of “What the Fruitcake?!” Mandy challenged everyone to make Decorated Sugar Cookies based on recipes from Peggy Porschen and The Joy of Baking


I have always admired those beautiful sugar cookies you see in magazines.  I never had the patience to make them though.  I still don't think I have the patience.  But I must say, I may try and conquer this again.


Part of the challenge was to make something that reminds us of September.  And September always reminds me of the beginning of school which means the beginning of Football.  Luckily there was a baby shower for a friend who happens to be having a baby boy.  The shower was a surprise, and we decided to make it a sports theme.  So I volunteered to make cookies.


They didn't turn out like the ones you see in the magazines, but I sure did learn a lot.
