Culinary Adventures with Camilla

  The holiday season means lots and lots of baking for our household. It's something we love to do as a family and we try to make cookies that are as pretty as they are tasty.  This year, we decided to make some cookie videos for our #CulinaryCam YouTube channel. Take a look at our Mocha Crinkle Cookies ; and my Best Gingerbread House and Cookies . And you can find a video about these sugar cookies:  here . This is an iced sugar cookie that I have been making for years and years with slight variations on flavors. But the process is the same. And we love doing this as a family! For this version I made a lemon-vanilla sugar cookie as the base along with a lemon icing.

However, all opinions expressed here are my own.   The last time I stopped in at  The Quail & Olive * , I picked up a bottle of their  Butter Flavor Olive Oil  because I was interested in trying the oil in some holiday baking. I don't know about you, but as soon as Halloween is over, my brain goes into overdrive on what kind of holiday cookies to bake.  Before I get to the recipe, I want to share a little bit about this oil because it's delicious and saves a step of having to melt butter for baking cookies.
