This was another year of cookies! We made so many this year. It felt like I was always baking, and you do not even want to know how many times I was buying butter!! I refuse to do anything with margarine, so butter it is. I usually hate the idea of Crisco, too. There was one batch of cookies that absolutely called for it, so I had to comply for it. All the rest had Tillamook butter! I like that they promise their cows are treated with hormones, etc.
Anyway, this was the last batch that we completed! It was the famous sugar cookies in the Loeb house, with one difference, the frosting! That frosting calls for margarine and crisco. I just can't do it. I found a great alternative, that even Joe has told me rivals the other one! Hurray! It's a butter icing with raspberry flavoring! It is thick and creamy, and it doesn't give me a conniption to hand to my kids. lol, trust me they don't get a tray of cookies. I did let them splurge at the party and on Christmas, though:)
