Sugar Cookie Recipes
I wasn't going to put sugar cookies on their own page, but I found so many recipes for them in my old recipe books, I had to make a page.
Of course sugar cookies are my favorite kind of cookies, and the easiest to make. Normally the recipe calls for you to "press flat with a sugar coated glass bottom.
So these are not the cookies that you roll out and cut. Find my favorite Holiday cookies on the Christmas Cookie page.
