My friend, Mary, makes the best sugar cookies ever. She got the recipe from her mother in law and I don’t know where it originally came from.
Now, Mary has been my best friend, side kick, and confidant…my counselor, my shoulder, and my sister for…uh….eighteen years. And every Christmas of those eighteen years she has made us sugar cookies at Christmas. I make them too but they are just not the same.
These are easy to roll out. They are so easy to roll and cut that we used to have all of the kids from the kids church ministry come over and make them to sell to raise money for missions. If a cookie can withstand THAT it can with stand anything!
These are great to leave out for Santa, they keep well (if they last that long), freeze well, and handle well. They are a soft cookie so if you are looking for crisp you may want to look elsewhere. I am sure that I have forgotten exact measurements over the years..it seems that every year I call her, beg for the recipe, promise I won’t lose it, write the recipe down, make it and then promptly lose it!
Give them a try. I think Santa will approve.
