Let the record show that I, Christina Dessertfortwo (legal name-change pending), am a huge fan of cookies that are baked and then rolled in sugar.  Cookies: full of sugar, check.  Cookies rolled in sugar?  Double check.  Make that double chin. These cookies are soft and tender, and yeah, they melt in your mouth. I whipped these up one Saturday afternoon, and then happily found myself packaging them up as a hostess gift.  Hooray for new friends!

Have you noticed when people say ’these cookies would be great for tea time?’  I don’t know about your schedules, but I haven’t had time for tea since I was 5.  And even then, it was tea made of air that my parents pretended to pour.  So, I will tell you that these cookies take 10 minutes to whip up, 1 hour to chill, and then 15 minutes or so to bake.  Fit that into your schedule and you’ll be very happy. Rolling warm cookies in sugar brings much happiness:

We’re heading to Texas this weekend to scope out wedding venues.  Have a great week!
