Sugar Cookies!

Well, you are probably saying I am a bit late sharing this recipe. Well, we made them late this year. I was so busy with the boys and cubscouts and church that we made them only 2 nights before Christmas this year! Santa had to have something to eat, right!?!

The Menu:
Sugar Cookies




The Original Recipe:
My stepmom gave me this recipe. I like it because you only have to chill it for an hour. Some or most Sugar Cookie recipes you need to chill over night. These always turn out great!

Maw's sugar cookies
