We singles like to stay busy. This photo is actually of a cookie I entered in a Christmas cookie decorating one year. A single friend and I decided to enter, and go join the celebration. There are lots of ways to enjoy the holidays.

Here's the recipe for the cookie:

SUSAN'S SUGAR COOKIE RECIPE

1 cup margarine
1 cup sugar]2 eggs
1 t. vanilla
2 2/3 cups sifted flour
3/4 t. salt
1/2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. baking soda

Cream sugar and margarine. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Blend in dry inredients. Chill dough for 3 hrs Roll out and cut cookies. Bake on ungreased sheets at 375 for 6-8 minutes. Then decorate! (Buy a set of tubes are Hobby Lobby, Crafts, etc.)

Got kids in your life? Let them join in.

P.S. Be sure and buy PASTE food coloring. Liquid coloring will make the frosting too runny. And don't stress, just buy a tin of frosting. That's what I did, and this cookie won first place! Boy, was I thrilled!
