These amazing sugar cookies come from a recipe from one of my best friends, Gena. She adapted the recipe from one her grandmother taught her, which originally called for the use of lard. See, you don't feel so bad about using butter & Crisco now, do you?
Gena is an amazing baker, so I'm glad to be able to share this recipe with all of you!
