My grandma made the best Sugar Cookies. They were soft, moist, and made with love. She made them around the holidays, where I ate more than what my parents wanted me to. Let’s be real, most kids ride the sugar high from Thanksgiving till the New Years.
I took my grandma’s recipe, made some tweaks and Viola! Sugar Cookie Blossoms!

BTW: River wanted to say hi, but fell asleep in front of the oven. I had to wake a sleepy Border Collie so that I could safely open the oven.
