This is my family’s recipe for sugar cookies. I have yet to find one like it. The dough can be frozen to use later. I have rolled them out or dropped them. They are best rolled out.
Original recipe makes 3 dozen
Ingredients
1 cup butter
2 cups white sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- Cream the butter and then gradually add the sugar. Cream thoroughly.
- Add the eggs one at a time to the sugar and butter. Add the baking soda next. Lastly, add the flour, salt, and flavoring.
- Cover and chill for several hours or freeze.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Roll out on a lightly floured surface and cut in fancy shapes. Bake until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
