If a person can have a sugar hangover then I have one. I ate so many frosted sugar cookies yesterday (the ones I make are the most super delicious ones in the world!) that I physically got sick and still have a queasy feeling stomach today.

Those damn little cookies do me in every year yet do I stop making them? Of course not because I think that everyone in my family will be upset if I don’t make them (read that to say “Me, myself, and I will be upset if I don’t make them,” plus it’s tradition and wouldn’t I be a Scrooge if I messed with tradition?). But, do I cut back and just make a single batch? Nope, don’t do that either.

If I’m going to go to bother of making the dough, rolling it out, cutting out those cute little snowmen and bells and stars and trees, baking them, making frosting to frost them, frosting them, decorating them with colored sugar (and non-pareils and jimmies and cinnamon candies and silver dragees – yum!), letting them dry overnight and then packing them into cute little containers for friends and families plus a big container to keep at home for people who drop in to wish up happy holidays (again, you can read that to say “keep a container at home for me, myself, and I”), then I am going to make a double or triple batch because it’s a “friggin” lot of work!

Last year at a Weight Watchers meeting someone suggested freezing Christmas cookies so they wouldn’t be so readily available to eat and so that a person would have to actually think about how badly they wanted one and would then have to take one out of the freezer and wait for it to thaw. That sounded like a great idea to me because short of throwing out all the cookies I worked so hard to make (or feeding them to the dog and making her sick which wouldn’t make me a very good mommy to my cute and spoiled doggie) I had a to find a way to keep myself from snacking on a half dozen of them every night.

Guess what I discovered?

Frozen frosted sugar cookies are the most delicious thing in the world!

Maybe I do need to throw them out……….
