Sugar Cookies

When I eat these cookies it is like I am a child again, sitting in my Grandma's house waiting for Santa to arrive.  They are light and fluffy and in my opinion, don't need the icing to be good.  Heck, I don't even think they really need to be baked!

This recipe makes a TON of cookies!  Depending on the size of your cookie cutters, usually around 100.  Just enough to share with all your friends and neighbors (and make your back hurt from all the leaning over).  

I think they are the best.  Enjoy!
