Yesterday after plowing the drive and my wonderful path to the barn, Farmer John started to complain about his wrist hurting. He was in so much pain before work this morning I told him to go get it checked out.
Diagnosis... Tendonitis! Yah... so no nice plowed path to the barn. We aren't quite ready to give that responsibility to our son with anything more than a shovel at this point in time.
Had another surprise diagnosis today... strep throat for my nine year old! Keep the good times coming!
So what can you do when it is cold, snowy and you have "patients" to keep happy? Make Christmas cookies!
Who doesn't feel better after a frosted Christmas sugar cookie?
Usually we have a traditional recipe we follow but I found a new recipe that includes sour cream in it and it seemed like a good day to give it a try.
We didn't mess with Christmas shapes today since it was just a "test" run. We stuck with easy-peasy circles. Plain white frosting and simple sprinkles.
The verdict... Yum! I think this may be my new traditional recipe! I will definitely need to make lots so that my son has fuel to snow shovel my path to the barn.
You can find the recipe for Cut-Out Sour Cream Cookies and frosting here!
They certainly boosted spirits at Creek Cottage Homestead. Happy baking, frosting and eating!!

Oh dear, I had tendinitis in both elbows. It takes forever to heal. Cookies look good.
Penny, I so did not want to hear that. We are not a patient people! (And I want my snow blower operator back... purely selfish, I know.)
