Shortbread Cookies

Super simple, fast and easy cookies! Great for freezing to have on hand for school lunches or when guests pop by!

1/2 cup icing sugar

1 cup butter

2 1/2 cups flour

Preheat oven: to 350 degrees

1. Mix ingredients together and knead until like pie crust dough.

2. Roll out & cut into desired shapes (or just with a glass or mug for circles)

3. Prick top of cookies with a fork.

4. Bake watching carefully for golden bottoms on the cookies. (this varies with size and thickness of cookies)

Freezer friendly. Children could help cut out shapes and put sprinkles on top prior to baking.

Super Simple Peanut Butter Cookies

This recipe is modified from the Kraft peanut butter jar; I think this is the best recipe for peanut butter cookies I have ever tasted! With no flour in the dough, you really taste the peanut butter.

1 cup peanut butter

1/2 cup white sugar

1 egg

Preheat oven: to 300 degrees.

1. Mix all ingredients together.

2. Roll into balls.

3. Flatten with a fork~ slightly.

4. Bake for 10 minutes.

Alternatives:
* Add in any mini candies (M&M's, Smarties, etc) that you'd like.
* Use crunchy or smooth peanut butter

Cookies freeze well.
