Great sugar cookies recipe. I have seen different cookies recipe in many websites. But, this is the great.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much!!!
How many cookies does this recipe make? Judging by the flour, it seems like 5 or 6 dozen perhaps? Seems like for a family, half a batch would be enough. Thanks for any info you can provide.
Ilike a crisp cookie. What could I do to make this a little crispier?
Make them thinner and bake a bit longer.
