My friend Mary, from Wisconsin, used to work at the cookie shop in the mall during the school year for spending money. They made batches of dough that would make your head spin...this is her version of the sugar cookie recipe. Fair warning, it makes A LOT!!! I make them, separate and freeze part to eat later. I also like to use the cinnamon sugar mix to roll in, because it tastes like snickerdoodles that way. Can also roll in colored sugar for the holidays if you want...
