Super Easy Sugar Cookies for Christmas

For the last few years, I’ve leaned towards DIY Christmas gifts for my loved ones – in part because budgeting for gifts is extremely difficult on a single income, but also because I love making things. After spending hours and hours trying to decide what the “best” gift for this person or that person might be, I threw caution to the wind last year and made almost every gift I gave.

It was awesome.

Finley-ChristmasTree

My favourite DIYs involved my son’s hands and feet, first with our Christmas Tree canvas and second, with our LOVE canvas collection. We had a BLAST, but clean up was a whole other ball game – especially the time my son ran down the hall with paint on his feet. Oops!

This year, my Christmas lead-up has been lonely as my son is in Cape Breton with my family until we get him into a preschool in our new city (it’s a nightmare). It’s excruciating to be here in Moncton all alone during a time of “togetherness”, but I found a way to survive my (hopefully) last solo-weekend before Christmas: all kinds of COOKIES. 

FOURTEEN DOZEN cookies to be exact (I don’t care if I ever bake another cookie again). It was a tiresome weekend, let me tell you. Who knew baking could cause such a sore back? Anyway. Ginger cookies, shortbread cookies and these super easy sugar cookies – including a flop involving whole wheat flour and way too little sugar – and I’ve got no room left in my freezer. At least my other cookies don’t require an oven.

And now, I’m sharing the love.
