Sugar Cookies

This was on the back of a "Jiffy" box and thought I would try it. They turned out really good. I also added about 1/4 tsp lemon extract and it gave it a slight lemon taste and they were great! I would also suggest to definitely roll the dough into sugar before baking. It adds just a little bit extra sweetness to the cookies. When we made these, I made them a little smaller and I came up with 42 cookies.
