Recipe Introduction
When the children were little, a good friend of mine, Terry Fox and I, would make a batch each of our own sugar cookie recipe. We would get together and the kids (mine and hers -- Alyson and Michael), would decorate the cookies with sprinkles, egg stain, etc. Michael and Sarah would get bored after two trays, and Jonathan, Katie and Alyson would stay with us for the duration. We would order pizza when the dads came home and at the end of the night, split all the cookies we had made.
