Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This recipe has been in our family for over 75 years. It’s the only recipe that I use for “cut cookies” because the dough doesn’t stick to your cookie cutters and is easy to work with. I divide the dough into 3-4 large balls and wrap in plastic wrap before placing in the refrigerator. I also use parchment paper to roll out my cookie dough.
