Sour Cream Sugar Cookies

Sour cream sugar cookies recipe

    Sour Cream Sugar Cookies
    Sugar cookies are one of the most classic and delicious sweets to prepare for Christmas and the holiday season. What is great about sugar cookies is that they are easy to prepare. These sugar cookies are a little bit different and use sour cream. I would say that the texture is more like that of a cake than a cookie. Once the dough is prepared and the cookies are baked, they are coated with frosting and sprinkles if desired. The frosting is just a simple combination of butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. You can add food coloring if you want, I used blue. These are easy to prepare in large batches if needed. Enjoy.

            Boston cream pie recipe

              Boston Cream Pie
              The Boston Cream Pie is an American classic. This dish was first created by a chef in Boston. The truth is, this isn’t a pie at all, it is a cake. This cake consists of cake layers that are filled with vanilla custard and topped with a chocolate glaze. If you have concerns that this recipe is hard to prepare, the use of instant vanilla pudding makes this recipe easy to make. This recipe does not use multiple cake layers but one cake prepared in a 9-inch pan that is cooled and sliced in half. You may be concerned that the cake will not look nice after slicing it in half but just be careful when you are slicing it and it should turn out fine. You will want to make sure you follow the mixing and baking directions closely so that the cake has the right texture. Enjoy.

                Almond thumbprint cookies recipe

                  Almond Thumbprint Cookies
                  These almond thumbprint cookies are great to prepare for Christmas! There are three parts to this recipe- the dough, the filling, and the glaze. You will want to plan ahead for this recipe because the dough needs to be chilled for at least 4 hours before preparing the cookies for baking. You can prepare the dough the night before and make the cookies in the morning if you wish. The filling is simply raspberry jam but you can use other flavors as well—I used raspberry, apricot, and blackberry. The glaze is a combination of confectioners’ sugar, milk, and vanilla or almond extract. Enjoy.

                  Pumpkin French toast recipe

                    Pumpkin French Toast
                    Pumpkin French toast makes a great breakfast for the colder months and the holidays. This is very similar to classic French toast but uses ingredients such as pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie seasoning to make the French toast taste like a pumpkin pie! I like to use Texas toast for this recipe but you could use sliced French bread as well. You can use either a nonstick skillet or a griddle for this recipe. I prefer a griddle because I can cook several pieces of the toast at ounce. Once the French toast is cooked I like to top it off with a little maple syrup and whipped cream. Enjoy.
