Soft Rolled Sugar Cookies

I thought I would share the recipe for Soft Rolled Sugar Cookies. I was given this recipe by a friend, Jeannette. We was visiting with her and her husband, Steve one evening when she served these cookies. They were so good!!!!!!!! I swear that Rich ate at least a dozen and a half of the cookies that night. Jeanette asked if I would like to have the recipe. That was 20 years ago and Rich can never get his fill of these cookies.

Instead of rolling them out I pinch off dough and roll into balls about the size of a walnut. Then I place the balls on cookie sheet and press with the bottom of a glass...the one I use has a pretty design on the bottom. Then I sprinkle with plain or colored sugar and bake. The secret to these cookies being soft is the amount of baking time. DO NOT OVERBAKE!

I'm sharing this recipe on http://grocerycartchallenge.blogspot.com/ I'm sorry there isn't a link......couldn't get it to work today.
