'Tis The Season

Our new neighbors have recently invited us to their Christmas in July party that they are holding tomorrow night. First off, I have never been to a Christmas in July party and do not have the foggiest idea what it is we have gotten ourselves into; but, of course, I have decided that we cannot show up empty-handed. Since I refuse to use pre-made cookie dough for cookies I chose to make "No Fail Sugar Cookies." I figured,"Hey, I'll just decorate them with red and green icing and sprinkles. No big deal." It is 11:33 pm and it has now become "a big deal."
For whatever reason the cookies are about 1/3 as flavorful as a cookie should be, and perhaps most horrifically: they're chewy. My husband politely ate one and informed me that they weren't "that bad" and that with the icing they should be just fine. Cue icing and sprinkles... They still suck. I suppose now is where I simply suck up my pride and succumb to the pre-made roll of dough from the store. I just hope no one will be able to tell the baker's name is Pillsbury. 
If you promise not to tell my secret I would really appreciate it : )


OH! And if anyone can make the cookies and figure out where things went wrong let me know:

    ooooo, I'm not sure what went wrong but here's a link to my favorite sugar cookie recipe! http://peppermintplum.blogspot.com/2011/03/thick-soft-sugar-cookies.html

    They are very "light" in taste.. meaning they aren't over the top sugary. But they're big fluffy cookies and delicious.. if big fluffy cookies is your thing that is. :) They go really well with a buttercream frosting but I usually use royal icing (I think that's what it's called)because it sets up better and then they're stackable. I know I'm a little late, but I hope the cookies you took still turned out wonderful! :)
