• Melissa's Note: About the name. These cookies are the surefire way to get someone to fall in love with you -- or at the very least gain a serious addiction to cookies. By giving these cookies away, you may need to be prepared for a marriage proposal on the spot. I have been baking since I was a little one. I was the only girl in a house full of brothers (5 to be exact), so I quickly found my spot in the kitchen. My love affair with baking started with cookies and it is how I won dates in high school by delivering them every Sunday night to my "friends." Love would usually ensue. Now I find joy in baking them for my own 4 little ones and they are my ultimate taste testers in the quest for the perfect cookie. They say we got it years ago so it is about time to share it.

MERRY MAKER CHRISTMAS SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• Mix sugar and butter.
• Add eggs and flavorings; mix well.
• Mix dry ingredients together, and blend in to other mixture.
• Divide dough into several parts.
• Tint each a different color.
• Make as many different colors as you like, but make sure they are really different to get the strongest contrast.
• Refrigerate dough for two or three hours.
• Take each color of dough and roll into small balls.
• Place an assortment of different colors next to each other, making sure no two of the same colors touch.
• Roll together, until about 1/8-inch thick.
• Cut as many cookies as possible from dough, because if you reroll it, it will smear together.
• Or, you can make a few at a time by rolling only a few balls at a time.
• Bake cookies at 375°F for 7-8 minutes, or until lightly golden on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
• These cookies freeze well.
