Personal Notes:
Grandma Jean McCray tried this recipe off the side of the baking soda box. We loved it and have been making it for 60 years. It is a soft dough but you can chill it and roll out for shaped cookies. When we were young we would color canned milk and paint designs on the cookies, then sprinkle with sugar especially at Easter. This cookie is great frosted.. We love sugar cookies and strawberries and cream.
