All you need is L.O.V.E.

See these delicious morsels...the ones that I didn't even TASTE because of my silly goal to not eat treats until Dominican comes... yeah- they're amazing. These are MAMA MAY cookies (named for my Dad's great aunt Aglaia May, but every one called her "Mama May"). Since I can remember my mom has made these for every holiday...Becca and I would mix our icing pallet and decorate (and probably make a mess)-- and now it's MY kids making a mess!- seriously, is there a harder thing to sweep up than sprinkles? (sorry Grannie!!)
Here's the recipe:
2 cups sugar
1 cup shortening
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla
(cream together)
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
4 1/2 cups flour
Chill if you have time...roll out with extra flour and cook at 350 for 10-13 minutes, or until golden brown. Decorate with icing and sprinkles and make a mess! :)
