What do you do when you come down with the flu right before Christmas? Climb in bed and sleep it off! Here I am geared up to enjoy my holidays with music and food and soriees and did I mention holiday food?

I didn’t even make a “what I want for Christmas” gift list. I simply want to spend time in my kitchen baking sweet treats for my friends and neighbors but here I am four layers under my covers, Kleenex, thermometer, meds and a hot toddy by my bedside. I haven’t had the flu in 20 years then to my dismay, I started getting the chills last week and it was down hill from there. One thing I do know is…the flu is no joke. Moving forward, It’s been a week and I’m feeling a whole lot better. I spent a lot of time flipping through cookie cookbooks and found this Sour Cream Nutmeg Sugar Cookie recipe and the first thing I did after feeling a little energetic was head to my kitchen to whip up these fragrant buttery cutout cookies.

These cookies are soft and thick like old fashioned tea cakes. Sprinkled with colorful sugar, they are super delicious. The recipe makes almost four dozen and most of the ingredients you already have in your pantry. These cookies make great gifts and who doesn’t love a “suga” cookie!

Until next time,

Enjoy!
