Poor Mary

This time of year I always spend a bit of time feeling sorry 
for poor Mary
No one ever makes her sugar cookies.

Do you think she hung up on Ethel when she called?
Did she enter every baking contest possible in hopes of making a name for herself like Ethel?

Such a sad tale.
Merry Christmas Baking
Here is a close up so you have the recipe

  1. The part you left out, and is not well known, Ethel is the daughter of Betty Crocker and poor Mary is only a daughter in-law. Betty trying to keep the family peace, published both recipes, knowing that most bakers knew that Ethel's cookies are far better. Mary's husband (Ethel's brother) knows that at this time of year, his sister will hook him up with cookies. Mary is good at somethings but Baking isn't one of them.
    Merry Christmas to All and to All Happy Eating.
