Christmas Cookies</b>
- George Strait
I sure do like those Christmas cookies sugar
I sure do like those Christmas cookies babe
The ones that look like Santa Claus
Christmas trees and bells and stars
I sure do like those Christmas cookies babe
Now Christmas cookies are a special treat
The more she bakes the more I eat
And sometimes I can't get myself to stop
Sometimes she'll wait til I'm asleep
And she'll take the ones that I didn't eat
And put those little sprinkley things on top
I sure do like those Christmas cookies sugar
I sure do like those Christmas cookies babe
The ones that look like Santa Claus
Christmas trees and bells and stars
I sure do like those Christmas cookies babe
Now those sprinkley things just make things worse
Cause it makes em taste better than they did at first
And they're absolutely impossible to resist
Some disappear to who knows where
But I make sure I get my share
And those kids just stand there waiting for the ones I miss
I sure do like those Christmas cookies sugar
I sure do like those Christmas cookies babe
She gets mad if they're all gone
Before she gets the icing put on
I sure do like those Christmas cookies babe
Now there's a benefit to all of this
That you might have overlooked or missed
So now let me tell you the best part of it all
Every time she sticks another batch in the oven
There's fifteen minutes for some kissin' and huggin'
That's why I eat Christmas cookies all year long
My favorite Christmas Cookie recipe -
Christmas Cut-Outs
1/2 cup oleo/margarine
1 cup sugar
1 egg
2 tsp. baking power
2-1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla
Mix butter, sugar and egg. Add baking powder, flour, salt, milk and vanilla. Chill overnight. Roll out dough, approximately 1/4-inch thick. Cut out in desired shapes and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.
Recipe can be doubled, dough is sticky (use some extra loose flour when rolling & cutting), can be placed close together on cookie sheet as they don't spread and hold their shapes; cookies are very good, "bready", melt-in-mouth.
