Personal Notes:
Making (and eating) Grandma B's sugar cookies has been a half-century tradition. Beginning with Grandma B, Cindy, Mike and Gina, then Cindy and Gina with their boys, spouses and in-laws, and finally all their grandkids, B's recipe has been a family favorite throughout the years. Holidays would not have been the same without the memories of these fun and yummy delights!
