A stress free week 18 for the Bills against the Patriots.  I can’t remember the last no stress regular season game, but it was a nice break before the playoffs begin.  I made some black cocoa snowballs yesterday and since not everyone i work with likes chocolate, I made these large sugar cookies.

Directions – in a bowl, combine butter, sugar and brown sugar.  Blend in eggs, yolk and vanilla.  Fold in dry ingredients.  Divide into 12 equal pieces and roll into balls, then roll in extra sugar.  Chill a few hours.  Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with nonstick baking liners. Stagger 6 cookies on a sheet.  Bake 12 to 13 minutes.  Do not bake longer than 13 minutes, or bottoms of cookies may burn.  Cool completely.
