Recipe is simple and all ingredients were on hand. I decorated the cookies with frosting and was worried they would be too sweet but they were excellent. This is now my basic sugar cookie recipe. Thank you!

I grew up in the Midwest and from a Swedish family, so I love food.
My grandmother doesn't normally measure when she cooks and I kind of picked that up from her. Most of my dishes can't be repeated due to this.
I love experimenting!!
