A Holiday Classic: Sugar Cookie Stars

December 22, 2012 Leave a Comment

Growing up my family lived next to the Zarlings. Max and Florence were a wonderfully sweet elderly couple, and as kids, my sister and I thought of our neighbors somewhat like an extra set of grandparents. On warm days we would sit with them in their yard on strange old metal chairs, and Florence would bring us lemonade. In early fall, Max would pay us 1 penny each for every walnut we picked up out of his yard, and it seemed there was a never ending supply. No matter what time of year, there were always sugar cookies. The smell would waft from their house to ours and my sister and I would beg to go make a visit. We would politely knock on the screen door, and always be invited in. Florence usually made heart shaped cookies that were perfectly tender and perfectly crumby and required no frosting.The frosting adds some holiday flare, but this gluten-free version is also delicious without.
