How not to make Christmas Cookies.

So this is what my mother’s sugar cookies look like when you read the recipe wrong. 1/2 a POUND of butter. Not a 1/2 cup. Oops. They still taste good though.

We're HUGE. Oh yeah.

I grew up with a sugar cookie recipe that was extremely rich, but the dough was soft and could be difficult to work with if not chilled well enough (we had to put it back in the fridge between batches). When I was in my late teens, my mother came across another sugar cookie recipe and said “hey, this is almost the same as great-grandmas, except that instead of 1 cup of butter, it has 1 cube…” …and then the light came on. Somewhere along the line someone had written “1c” instead of 1 cube, and ever since then we’d been doing a double portion of butter in the cookies.
