Recipe Introduction
When I was a little girl I would spend a few weeks every summer in Connecticut with my Aunt Laura. She made the best sugar cookies. I asked her for the recipe so I could give it to my mom. Aunt Laura wrote it out, and I folded the recipe and wrote my mom's name on it with a 5 in the upper right hand corner (like a stamp). I just found the folded paper in my mom's recipes.Can't wait to make these!
