Volk Family Sugar Cookies

I attempted today to make my first unassisted batch of sugar cookies from my family recipe. They did not turn out as planed, but I was prepared for this. It takes a few batch or years even to get the finesse down for create these treasures. I used my stand mixer but that put way to much air in the dough and there was no way I was going to be able to roll them out. So I didn’t, I just plopped little lumps onto the pan and sprinkled with colored sugar.

They came out as magical little domes of joy. They are SO SO SO yummy. Josh won’t be staying out of these. They are light and fluffy with a gentle flavor. All and all I am proud, I think they look great.
