This recipe is sure to please since you can make the dough up, roll it on wax paper and freeze till needed! Then set out on counter a few minutes and use a very sharp knife and cut nice thin cookies! Bake as usual according to recipe but be sure not to over brown them. You can make and freeze many cookie recipes, such as old fashioned sugar cookies,, chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal! Just make the dough and roll it up in wax paper then freeze till you need a dessert for company! This idea went back to the old war days when every new wife should be ready for callers to come enjoy tea!
