DIY Powdered Sugar

I Yesterday I decided to make cookies with the kids. I had read the directions for these cream cheese cookies and thought I had everything. I rarely check to make sure I have enough of each ingrident. Hence all my substitutes for recipes. 

Misses and I are just plugging along mixing dry ingriedents. When I realized we were 1/2 a cup sort on powdered sugar. I instantly searched the handy dandy internet to see if there was a substitute for powdered sugar. Do you know what I found?! Powdered sugar is just ground up sugar. What? Who knew? I sure didn't but it makes complete sense.

Here is how you make powdered sugar if you find yourself in a pinch.

Put the amount of sugar you need in a blender, food processor, or coffee girder and turn it on the highest setting. Let it grind until you get a nice powdery sugar. That's it! Now, my powdered sugar wasn't the exact same consistency as the store bought, but it did the job.
