Elsmore Family Christmas Cookies
8:52:00 AMHappy Holidays Everyone!
I hope you're having a relaxing and fun holiday season. This time of year is the best! Lots of quality time with family, good food, a fun to be had (which is the main reason why I haven't been blogging). The presents are purchased and wrapped. The whole house is decorated and feeling festive. And of course, there has been a lot of cooking, baking and eating in our household. A few days ago I made Christmas cookies. I baked traditional iced sugar cookies and my Nana's favorite cornflake wreaths. I also made a family recipe: Becky's Butter Riches. They are an Elsmore family tradition. Here's the recipe:
For the cookies you'll need:
1 1/2 cups butter
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tablespoons vanilla
4 - 4 1/2 cups flour
Mix ingredients & roll into 1 inch balls & bake on greased cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 7 to 9 minutes
For the frosting:
1/2 cups browned butter
5 cups powdered Sugar
2 tablespoons vanilla
6-8 tablespoons milk
Brown the butter in a medium sauce pan. Add in the powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk. The frosting should be thick and rich.
They're super easy to make and by far my favorite Christmas cookie, I hope you like them too!
