Rolled Sugar Cookies


This is a recipe that my mom grew up making. She always loved to bake cookies, and still does. We use this recipe every year, it is a favorite. You can decorate the cookies prior to baking with sprinkles or colored sugar, or you can wait and use an icing on them after backing, and add sprinkles then.
