This recipe was given to me by my Aunt Gail during my bridal shower back in 1992. I make these cookies for every holiday and occasion in between.

Serve these sugar cookies to your family and they'll be begging for them again and again. They have a similar texture to the soft cookies found at the grocery store... only this cookie recipe is better. Have fun and get creative when decorating!
