Sugar cookies are another one of those things everyone has a different “The Best” recipe for. These are worth a shot. They are not super sweet, so I often put icing on them, plus it’s a chance to spend a day ‘painting.’ The original recipe is from an old book I found at a library ‘discard’ sale called Old Fashioned Christmas Cookies.
