I love sugar cookies and always compare purchased cookies with my sister’s recipe. My sister recipe always wins! I follow her recipe when I bake my own but they never taste the same. I think it’s because she has a different terroir which is the countryside while I live in the city.

It’s tradition for my Mom and me to bake a batch to decorate for Halloween and then ugly sweater versions for the winter holiday season.

The ugly sweater versions started to make appearances during my January customer appreciation event. This year, I decided to move this event to December and host a zoom make and take social. Make and take packets were mailed out and much to my delight, stampers showed up to the zoom calls! It was such a good experience, I will be continuing this format.

The Sugar Cookie Socials will be held monthly on the 4th Wednesday of the month. Attend either session 9-10am or 6-7pm central time. How do you get an invitation to join the social? Purchase at least $50 (excluding shipping and tax) using the host code listed on the right side of my blog (current code is EUNVSZHN). If your order is over $150, do not use a host code so you can spend all the host rewards yourself. Either method will earn you an invitation to join the social for that month and snail mailed make and take packets from me. Order early in the month so there is time for me to prep your kits and for them to make the journey from my mail box to yours:) The kits will change each month and the designs kept a secret. I’ll ship your kits and email you the zoom call links automatically after your qualifying order is placed.
