Today we baked sugar cookies and gingerbread cookies with Sue. This morning we worked together to measure dry ingredients, cream together the wet ingredients, and mix everything together. Then we put the dough in the fridge to chill until this afternoon. After lunch we rolled out the dough and made all sorts of cookies. Tomorrow we are going to decorate them!
Here is the recipe we used for the sugar cookies. You can click the link below to see the recipe at www.allrecipes.com.

Dear class,
I think it was fun cutting cookies yesterday. The candy cane cutters were reallllllllyy Big. I cannot wait to decorate them today. Sue would have had to stay a long time to bake all of those cookies! I bet the cookies are going to taste delicious.
