My family has been using the sugar cookie recipe for decades. Legend has it that we stole it off of a sugar bag more than 40 years ago, but we haven't found a fancier recipe that beats it! My kids enjoy frosting these cookies in bright colors with abundant sprinkles. They freeze great which allows me to deliver fresh cookies to clients throughout the holiday season!
