I've got the "crud"...

...I'm in between naps at the moment. I've been sick with body aches & a sore throat & had to call in sick. I HATE being sick and I hate calling in sick even more. Do you all feel guilty when you have to do that? Why is it we don't put enough self worth when it comes to taking care of ourselves? Can anyone please answer me that? Anyway...
 I wanted to give you all a present for the holiday's and this is what I've come up with...the LAST Sugar Cookie recipe you will ever need...Honestly! Even after refrigerating it-I leave it out until it's rollable.

SUGAR COOKIES
CREAM TOGETHER:
1 C Unsalted Butter
2/3 C. Sugar
BEAT IN:
1 Egg
COMBINE & ADD:
1 tsp Vanilla
2 1/2 C. Sifted Flour
Mix until ingredients are well-blended. Chill dough 3-4 hrs. before rolling. 
Pre-heat oven to 350*
Roll out on lightly floured surface & cut. Bake for about 8~10 min.
or until barely colored.

FROSTING
3/4 C Powdered Sugar
1TBSP Unsalted Butter
1 TBSP Milk, 1/2 tsp Vanilla, 1/4 tsp fresh Lemon Jce
a tad of Lemon Zest
Melt butter, stir all ingredients to combine until smooth.
(I stir ingredients in a mixing cup & place cup in a bowl of HOT water to keep frosting spreadable)
***
Enjoy!
I'm going for a cat nap now!
Happy Snapping
