tina's best sugar cookies ever made
This is a rich and short cookie. A family favorite for sure. It makes a lot of cookies and trust me, we go through them at Christmas and still have cookies to give for gifts. The recipe can easily be halved if you only want 10 dozen or divided by 4 if you want even less.
