Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This makes a very large batch of yummy sugar cookies that is a favorite of my family. I usually decorate them with a few sprinkles of colored sugar before baking. I also have used these in my cookie press making different shapes and they come out very well. This recipe was from Aunt Joan Emerson.
