But all I want to do is break out my rolling pin.

The holiday season is a time I look forward to each year, usually no matter what. I love the lights and the family and definitely the food, which includes sugar cookies, carefully frosted and covered in sprinkles. Trees, stars, stockings, ornaments, all painted with blue, red, green, and yellow sugar.

Making the cookies is a tradition I have never lost, even when living in a cramped dorm my freshman year. My roommates and I frosted cookies my mom made up and brought to me last year when we lived in the Suites. And this year, I’m planning on spending the week of finals, flattening sugar cookie dough and leaving a huge mess in the kitchen. Needless to say, it beats learning public relations principles by a long-shot.

And in case you want to give your profs a cookie before you take the test you didn’t study for because sugar was more of a priority check out this Web site:
