Ethyl's Sugar Cookies
"This is our cut-out-cookie recipe--- obtained from my husband's mother after we got married. It doesn't make too much dough, but can easily be doubled. One of our early marriage decisions (20 yrs ago) was to decide who's mother's recipe to use. Jim won- so he gets to make them! We make icing paint out of powdered sugar, milk, and food coloring and the kids get to paint the cookies. (about 1 cup pwdr sugar to 2 tsp milk- add the milk no more than a tsp at a time)"

<p>I am a mother of 17yr-15yr-12yr old children. I work 3 days a week outside of the home as a pharmacist. Dinner is always a sore subject for me, because there is never time to make it, and the kids don't eat it anyway. My goal this year is to just forget the kids and make what I think my husband and I want, and then they'll have to try new foods out of desperation! <br />I've noticed that I tend to give 4 stars as my top score when reviewing a recipe. Am I waiting for that once in a lifetime, mind altering taste? Or am I just too picky? Oh well.....</p>
