NOTES : Dianne Ward's old faithful best sugar
cookie recipe from a 1969 Tupperware catalog.
ALWAYS roll these or any other rolled light
colored cookie dough in confectioner's sugar,
not flour. There will be no floury taste in
the baked cookie and they will be crisper.
Chocolate dough could be rolled out on cocoa
powder.
