My Grandmother’s sugar cookies will melt in your mouth.  This special recipe as been passed down through the generations.  I love those recipes that have sentimental memories! She always made these cookies as a special gift for family and friends. As you can see from the poem on the sampler she valued her friends.

This is a photo of the cross-stitch sampler my sweet Aunt Karen made my grandmother. It always hung above my grandmother’s stove and now proudly hangs above mine!

These sugar cookies are slightly crisp! While I also love a soft chewy sugar cookie recipe — this sugar cookie recipe is extra delicious.
