The Best Sugar Cookies

April 28, 2015 by Ilana Traeger

Sugar Cookies 3

Birthday celebrations call for sweet treats covered in sprinkles.  I celebrated my best friend’s 25th in NYC this past weekend & couldn’t visit without something delicious!  Although cake or cupcakes are typical birthday desserts, I knew neither of those options would travel well.  I thought cookies would be the best alternative & I was right.

Mom’s Snowflake Cookies

December 20, 2014 by Ilana Traeger

Snowflake Cookie 1

No two snowflakes look the same and neither do these cookies!  This recipe has always been a crowd-pleaser, since my family and I would bake cookies to give as holiday gifts.  Soft chocolate dough rolled in sweet confectioners sugar before baking is what gives these cookies their snowflake design.
