Maggie, that sounds like the perfect way to make any kind of cookie with 3 little boys in the house.

i LOVE making sugar cookies :) LOVE it. and i lov eating them too :) i have all kinds of festive cutters for the christmas season too :) one year i wanted colored cookies, but i forgot to add teh color in the mixing. so after the dough was already made i juct poured green and red in the bowl and kneeded it with my hands... the cookies turned out gree, red, and white tye-die looking marbley color :) it was cool.
my recipe is whatever is in the better homes and gardens red plaid cook book :P
I knew there had to be multiple reasons I like you, keithy bro. Sugar cookies r0x0rz!!!!
My sugar cookie recipe came from my grandmother, and Mom said Grandmother got it out of an old Highlights issue. (But that could be just family folklore.)

For soft cookies you can use half butter and half shortening--and bake for less time! 
Exactly... shortening for softness; butter for crispiness.
Also, keeping them in Tupperware or similar types of containers keeps moisture in there w/ them.
In the past we've made date-nut balls, rum balls  , apricot squares, butter riches (these are a more buttery, brown-sugary tasting cookie that you roll and flatten), molasses cookies, pepperkakor cookies, Hello Dollies (or Magic Cookies -- it's another chocolate + nuts + coconut bar cookie), pecan tassies (mini pecan pies, basically), sugar cookies, and other goodies I cannot remember off the top of my head. (And that doesn't count the Chex mix, the cakes, and the pies.)
Doh! Remembered another one!
 Mexican Wedding Cookies are SUPER easy and quick. I know the ingredients but not the amounts. I'll come back and add those.
* melted butter or margarine
* flour
* sugar
* vanilla extract
Mix. Form into small balls. Bake. Then cool.
Toss the baked cookies while still warm (but not piping hot) in confectioner's sugar.
You can add walnuts or pecans or mini chocolate chips.
The cookies are crumbly/flaky, not really crunchy or chewy. They're like a softer version of shortbread.... sorta.
And these are WAY better than the Danish Wedding Cookies by Keebler.

We just bought some goodies from a bake sale our library was having along with a book sale (go Debbie Mcomber whose books I bought) and some of the cookies were shortbread. My mom said they were better than Lorna Dunes which she likes. Does anyone have a good shortbread cookie recipe?
I have made something that is fun. Take 2 Ritz crackers and put peanut butter between them. Put some chocolate chips in a pan on low heat to melt them. Keep stirring them until they are melted. You can use the microwave but I like the stove top better. Dip the crackers w/peanut butter in the chocolate until they are all coated. Now here is the fun part. Sprinkles, colored sugar, anything you want to use to decorate them. Ask people what they are eating and they won't know, but they will love it. It's easy, a little messy but fun, especailly for the kidlettes.
I'm going to try that Ritz cracker thing. That sounds good and fun.
