Sugar Cookies

Easter is just around the corner. We are busy menu planning for our family get together. There are some things that certain people always make. For example my mom always makes her sweet potato casserole and my sister in law always makes asparagus casserole. So one thing that I always make for almost every holiday is a dessert. Its these sugar cookies. My niece Shea always requests these so I dedicate this recipe to her as she is studying abroad and cannot be with us this Easter....

This recipe is taken from a very old cookbook
