MomMom's Sugar Cookies

I added a word to the dictionary during the Christmas Holidays--MomMoms Sugar Cookies: dough rolled out thinly on floured surface and cut with assorted Christmas shapes together with fun, laughter and love. Although MomMom has moved to heaven, as I roll and cut the same recipe along with the same cookie cutters, in the same kitchen the tradition started, the memories are etched in my thoughts. Thoughts of love and caring and MomMoms great smile with the bright twinkle of her eyes as she baked the best tasting sugar cookies ever made--in My Book, My Dictionary! Thank you MomMom!

Would make this again.
great cookies... reminded me of my mommom too.

how much you wanna bet "william in georgia" and "a cookie baker in US" are the same person? because the two being posted the same day doesn't give any clues. Especially when they both use the word "floury", which isn't even a real word. four stars

These truely have to be the best cookies I have ever made. To ice them I use a powdered sugar glaze which works great. Just make sure to not use to much flour when rolling out the dough, or else the cookies will come out dry and cakey. five stars
