Galletitas de Azúcar // No Fail Sugar Cookie Recipe

I just finished baking my Sugar Skull cookies. I have the best "Galletitas de Azúcar" (Sugar Cookie) recipe ever. It's basic, easy, and never fails. Here we go:

Galletitas de Azúcar

1 cup butter (unsalted) 1 cup sugar 1 egg (medium or large) 1 tbsp vanilla extract
3cups flour 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt
(Add a little bit of cinnamon and you have the perfect dough for christmas cookies as well!)
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix well!
In a separate bowl whisk all dry ingredients together. Add dry mixture a little at a time to the butter mixture. Mix until the flour is completely incorporated.
Roll dough between two sheets of parchment paper to desired thickness (0.25 inches), and start cutting, stamping... be creative!
       
Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet for 8-10 minutes or until the cookies begin to brown around the edges.  Leave plain (I prefer plain) or decorate each cookie with Royal Icing.

My Sewing Corner // Weekend Recap LinkUp

Hello and Happy Monday!

How was your weekend? I am finally able to do more than just being knocked out by the flu. M came come from the Police Academy Friday afternoon, and our first point on the weekend schedule was a stop at Walmart. NO GOOD IDEA. AT ALL.

Let me tell you this: Road rage at Walmart exists. Blame it on my 7 day quarantine, not seeing anyone but the doctor and the neighbor who took me there -> I was about to freak out. People!!! It was overwhelming and every single person was making me nuts. Blocking every alley either with their huge carts or with their huge behinds. Or both. Not paying attention. Not giving a sh*t.

I got so mad, I had to leave M with the cart so he could pay and I was waiting at the car. At home I went straight to the couch and my cuddle blanket, and dozed off, trying to forget the evil Walmart experience.

Saturday was better though. I finally managed finishing my long planned project: My little sewing area. I started at the dinner table, but it was a little irritating moving the sewing machine all the time. So I came up with this little idea and here is the result:





I just moved out MALM chests a little apart, went to Home Depot to get a board ($10), put some ConTact paper on it to make it look nicer, et voilá! I love it! My little sewing paradise! I don't have to move around anymore and can clutter everything the way I want to. I guess you noticed my huge bag of scrap fabric?





Oh and I guess you saw the hint HERE. On my shopping spree at Little Rock I got another sugar scull. A big one. I love it!
