Take a look at this recipe for sugar cookies and powdered sugar icing to share with family and friends this holiday season.
Sugar Cookies are easy to make and always a hit. These cookie recipes can be iced or not iced at all. But decorating them with icing, sprinkles and other edible do-dads is most of the fun if you ask me, which you didn’t but I get to tell you anyway. Sugar Cookies ingredients: prep: Cream (beat) butter and sugar together until fluffy. Add egg and blend well. Add vanilla. Sift flour, salt and soda together and into butter mixture. Cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight. In small portions roll out and cut into shapes. You can sprinkle these with colored sugar now or decorate with icing after they cool.

Karen Fairchild may belong to one of the hottest bands in country music, but she's still a simple girl at heart. In an online chat recently, Fairchild revealed her favorite Thanksgiving dish was her "mama's" pretzel salad, though it's hard to put the not-so-diet-friendly food in the same category as a salad in terms of health benefits. Still it seems the delicious-sounding dessert resonated with people: it was shared nearly 80 times in the first hour it was online. She posted the following recipe to the band's Facebook page: Pretzel Salad Crust 2 cups pretzels crush 2 tablespoons sugar 1/2 cup butter melted Mix and pat into 9 x 13 inch pan. Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove and cool. Cream Cheese Layer 1 8 oz. cream cheese …

Wondering when the holiday shopping hours begin at local stores? We've got some answers for you below.
With Halloween behind us, retailers and shoppers are now staring down some of the biggest shopping days of the year - both in stores and online. The National Retail Federation expects sales during November and December to rise 4.1 percent this year, according to a USA Today report. Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, has become the accepted if unofficial start time of the Christmas rush. It's a huge day for retailers but only the first of a roughly month-long extravaganza. And thanks to Abe Lincoln, who decreed Thanksgiving a national holiday, Franklin D. Roosevelt, who signed into law that it should fall on the fourth Thursday in November, and Pope Gregory XIII, who blessed the calendar we use by papal bull, 2012 has the longest …
