Mitten Cookies

It's December 24th and quite chilly in Colorado Springs. We decided to celebrate the holiday season by making some wintery cookies. We made sugar cookies from the Betty Crocker cookbook, cut them into mitten shapes 

and sprinkled them with granulated sugar. They turned out poofier and softer than we initially expected, but hit the spot regardless. 

We had a little extra dough and made a few special cookies. Renee made some thumbprint style cookies with raspberry jam. Dave made a snowflake - but of course you knew that from the picture! 

Tomorrow we are making chili and hope to blog about that as well.
