Sugar Cookies

Today, I spent almost 4 hours making sugar cookies including frosting. I followed this recipe: http://gottalittlespacetofill.blogspot.com/2009/12/best-sugar-cookies-ever.html
I don't particularly like sugar cookies, but some neighbors dropped some off and they were fantastic, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I followed the directions to a T and still, I don't think the recipe is that great. The dough was really sticky and hard to roll out at first. The first batch came out really crispy so I decreased the baking time to eight minutes instead of ten.
I think that most sugar cookies come out tasting kind of like corn bread, there is this corny/wheaty tasty to them that I think is unpleasant. They tasted ok with frosting and sprinkles on them. I think that the frosting is key, no frosting and you get some weird version of corn bread.

The frosting I made with powdered sugar, butter, milk and vanilla. Turned out pretty good and a good consistency. I didn't color it but we had colored sprinkles. I'm not the best froster either so, some of them aren't very pretty. At least they're tasty and the frosting set up really well (not sticky anymore).

Over all, not a success, but maybe not a failure either.

Really should have spent those hours working my thesis. It is coming along slowly. Oh the guilt of writing a thesis...
