So I  feel like I finally have the house decorated.  Now I can focus on my holiday baking.

In Sunday’s ads, I saw some baking supplies on sale.  I have the same cookie menu every year.  I shared my husband’s grandmother’s butter cookie recipe last year.  Not only are they delicious, but they are a sentimental favorite.

So in honor of Grandma Rose’s upcoming birthday, I am going to share again her wonderful butter cookie recipe.

I would love for any of you to share your family favorites.  I am always looking for new cookies to add to my annual baking marathon.

Butter Cookies

 
1 lb. butter

 
1 ¼ cup sugar

 
5 ¼ cup flour

 
1 tsp. baking soda

 
1 tsp. baking powder

 
2 eggs plus 1 egg yolk

 
Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs, flour, baking soda and baking powder a little bit at a time.  Beat until all is incorporated.  Do not over beat.
 
Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 8 to10 minutes.
 
These cookies just melt in your mouth.
