My favorite sugar cookie recipe was handed down to me from my mother.  Our kids called her Mema.  She got the recipe from her mother, my Granny Lucille.  I passed the recipe to my daughters and granddaughters, and now to you!

I make sugar cookies for almost every holiday, especially Christmas and Valentine's Day, and for special events.

I've collected lots of cookie cutters over the years to use with this recipe.

It's messy-fun to roll out the dough, and use cookies cutters.
