Easy 3 Ingredient Halloween Sugar Cookies

 

My sis and I were talking and out of the blue she says "Remember when we were little and you used to make those sugar cookies?"

I can't believe she remembered.  My sis and haven't baked cookies together in years.  She laughed when I told her I still bake those cookies.

The recipe was simple: 1 stick of butter, some sugar and flour.  

Sometimes we would get all fancy and mix in some of the flavored extracts my mom kept in the pantry or top the cookies with sugary sprinkles or a dusting of sugar.

Nothing compares to the smell of cookies baking in the oven and it's one of my favorite ways to spend quality time with the kids. I always enlist the aid of my three boys and little lady when I'm in the kitchen.  

Funny seeing my kids whipping up stuff in the kitchen on their own, making their own snacks or following along a recipe from one of my cookbooks. 

What makes this recipe so perfect is that it's only 3 ingredients and even though the first batch rarely turns out just right, you can scrounge up enough cookie bits while waiting for the next batch to finish baking.

Have you ever baked these 3 ingredient sugar cookies before?  What's your favorite cookie to bake?
