Mrs. Roby's Sugar Cookies

This recipe came from my grandmother from her friend, Mrs. Roby. They were a part every year of our Christmas cookie selection. We used nuts, raisins, and colored sprinkles. Since being married, we have merged our traditions by adding the painting of these cookies. Rolling them thin is an art. I'm still trying Mom!
