Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies

I got this recipe from my friend Jackie's mother's cook book and it is by far my favorite cookie recipe ever. I've always loved sugar cookies, but this recipe won me over with it's classic, creamy taste. I also love this recipe because it's just so much fun to make with family and friends. and the perfect project to do with children. The last time I used this recipe, I stayed up all night baking the cookies with my husband who doesn't cook or bake whatsoever, but just wanted to have some fun baking with me. :) I'm so excited for you all to try this one!
