I have made these cookies for years and not sure how or where I obtained the original recipe. The changes I made to original recipe include extra vanilla, almond and cocoa for chocolate sugar cookies. This is an easy drop cookie recipe. No rolling out or cutting out required. I call them "one of a kind" because they truly are. There are also a lot of 1 measurements in this recipe; making it a very easy recipe to commit to memory. These soft sugar cookies melt in your mouth and will make you famous!
