June's Famous Sugar Cookies

This is a recipe I came across that is supposed to be the famed sugar cookies from my Junior High School Cafeteria, Clark Jr. High in Vincennes, IN. I haven't tried them myself, but everyone says they are the very best so I'm getting them in so I can give them ago. Typically they are iced with a thick layer of butter cream icing as well.
