Pink Ribbons Everywhere

Happy October!
Beyond pumpkins, costumes and autumn leaves, this month holds a deeper meaning for many...

The White House, October 2008

National Breast Cancer Awareness Month is celebrating it's 26th anniversary, bringing treatment and preventative options to millions of women (and men) around the world.
Susan G. Komen For The Cure has raised over $1.5 billion since it began in 1982.

In celebration of the lives saved and the future health of those we love, check out this amazing sugar cookie recipe! Bake a few dozen ribbons, top them with cute sprinkles and offer them to family and friends
with a gentle reminder to support the cause...



Because, as they say, everyone deserves a lifetime...

1/2 tsp salt
9 1/2 oz unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup dark brown sugar
2 egg yolks

Directions
Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, beat together butter and sugar until fluffy. Add egg and mix well. Add milk, vanilla and lemon zest. Gradually stir in flour mixture until well blended. Refrigerate dough for one hour or up to 3 days.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll out dough on floured surface to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut desired shapes and place on parchment lined baking sheets. Chill cut cookies for ten minutes before transferring to the preheated oven. Bake for 8 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool completely before icing.
