Gifts Found In Giving

Today's challenge in the One Thousand Gifts "March Joy Dare" is finding 3 Gifts Given Away.



1)  Giving a car-full of gently used toys from our basement, which our children no longer play with, to our child care center and church nursery.  I love sharing things with others.  Especially when it helps clean out some of cupboards and toy boxes.  (Blessing #404)

2)  Delivering Mountain Dew Throwbacks and Twizzlers to my hubby-coach and his fellow-coaches before they headed to their first soccer game of the season.  (#405)

3)  A plate of St. Patrick's Day Cookies shared with our neighbors. (#406)

Super Soft Sugar Cookies
1 c. butter, softened
2 c. sugar
2 eggs
3 1/2 c. flour
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 vanilla
1 TB milk
Cream butter and sugar.  Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition.  Add baking powder, salt, vanilla, and milk. 

If making St. Patrick's Day cookies, add 1/2 tsp. Mint extract + 15 drops green food coloring + chocolate chips.  Mix well before adding flour.

Add Flour.  Mix well.  Chill 1 hour in fridge.  Roll into balls, flatten with a glass dipped in sugar.  Bake at 350 degrees for 9 minutes. 


This is what they look like without a leprachaun's touch ~
